When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector.

Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. 

Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. 

Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. 

But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night."

Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman."
---
Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities.

Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. 

For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. 

Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her.

Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

The Grand Duke's Soulmate

The treatment room door was hard-knocked from the other side, and the figures entered upon permission. Rafe and Kiev were surprised to see Mary, the royal maid, accompanied by Armel instead of Callis.

"Where's my sister? Why didn't you bring her?" asked the Mederian Prince to the teenager.

"Forgive me, Your Highness. Mrs Amares and Madam Collins have gone out. I ran into Miss Mason on my way to them and was informed by her. In my haste, I asked her to come with me, thinking she could help," Armel explained.

Rafe quickly grasped the teenager's intention and glanced at Mary. The maid, already aware of the situation, responded before either man could speak.

"Mr Chester briefed me on my way here. Rest assured, I believe I can assist you," Mary said confidently.

"You seem quite sure," Kiev replied, still sceptical.
