“He ruled an empire with an iron fist—until love taught him how to kneel. In the shade of the last almond blossom, a tyrant’s heart finally bloomed.”
He took everything from me—my name, my freedom, my body.
Now, years later, he asks for the one thing I never thought I’d give:
my heart.
Elias Quinn was meant to be a pawn—pretty, silent, disposable.
But when the Emperor Damien Drake dragged him into a bed of power and poison, neither of them expected the scars to go deeper than flesh.
What began as cruelty became obsession.
What was once a cage became a vow.
And when the empire crumbled, Elias disappeared…
Until love pulled them back together—not as ruler and servant, but as two broken men learning how to heal.
In a world where power always demanded sacrifice, can a tyrant earn redemption before the last blossom falls?
A brutal and breathtaking tale of obsession, redemption, and a love that refused to die—even when its roots were watered in blood.
