When powerless, unfavoured Princess Soleia was arranged to marry the newly titled Duke Orion Elsher, she assumed they would find love eventually.

Who knew that her father would send off her husband mere hours later to fight a war?

Soleia was left alone to deal with an impoverished fief, a crumbling estate, and spiteful, vindictive relatives of the Duke who all wished to see her gone. 

She couldn’t leave― there was nowhere else to go. Soleia desperately wanted her husband to return so he could offer her a helping hand. However, when he did, he returned with Elowyn, a woman he claimed was his true love. 

A woman hellbent on taking her place as the rightful Duchess, no matter what she had to do to get Soleia out of the way. 

Mistreated, misunderstood, and miserable, Soleia was eventually thrown out of the estate she helped build.

Fortunately, when one door closes, another one opens. Unknown to Soleia, a man more powerful than her husband had been watching her, waiting for the right time to snatch her into his gilded cage. Duke Elsher had been foolish to let go― but the crown prince of Raxuvia wouldn’t make the same mistake.

Prequel to Stolen by the Rebel King.

The Hidden King's Stolen Wife

A secretive family based in the North of Raxuvia, the Wynslers ruled over the islands off the coast. They did not welcome visitors, and when Rafael had spurned their marriage offer, they had screamed all sorts of insults at him before leaving, claiming that he was already marrying far beyond his station with their offer.

As far as he knew, there was no woman with silver hair in the family. But that didn't mean anything. If Rafael could have found a way to disguise his eye color, this woman could have easily disguised her hair.

So Elowyn could have been working on the orders of his ex-fiancée, Lady Elinora Wynsler! That thought caused a shiver to travel down his spine. But that would explain how quickly Elowyn had pieced together his identity when no one else was wiser.
