In the kingdom of Eldoria, two rival clans—the House of Varelis and the House of Draeven—have been at war for decades. To end the bloodshed, the cunning King decrees a forced marriage between Lady Seraphina Varelis, a proud and battle-hardened warrior, and Prince Kael Draeven, a cold and calculating Man of power.
Neither of them desires this union. Seraphina sees Kael as the enemy responsible for her brother’s death, while Kael believes love is a weakness that has no place in war. But as they are bound by duty, they soon discover that a greater threat looms over their kingdom—an ancient dark force rising from the shadows, ready to consume them all.
Forced to work together, Seraphina and Kael must navigate the treacherous court, assassins lurking in the dark, and their growing attraction to each other. But will their forced marriage forge an unbreakable alliance, or will their hatred tear them—and their kingdom—apart?
