When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place.

At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge.

However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. 

Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

The doubts ate the duchess alive as she got into the dress she would wear while facing her illegitimate father in front of the courts. she chose a long-sleeved pale green dress suitable for the beautiful early spring they were having in the capital.

Unfortunately, she couldn't appreciate the budding flowers or foliage growing. The burden of what was about to happen ate her alive and Desmond wasn't entirely sure if he would be able to escape the palace to be at her side.
