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.

The Hidden King's Stolen Wife

Orion was not having a good day.

He had woken up in his bed alone, his head strangely heavy. When he stared down at himself, he could see the leftovers from breakfast strewn all over the bed. He peered around the room, hoping to find Elowyn, but she was nowhere to be found.

Warning bells immediately rang in Orion's head, and he leaped up, nearly staggering out of the bed as his head spun from the sudden change in position. He mentally cursed Elowyn under his breath. He had told her time and time again that the royal palace was an unsafe place for her to wander around in, but she kept trying to push her luck, so he had to use more force to get her to listen.
