> "You will play the perfect princess. Wear the crown, smile for the cameras, and obey me. That’s all you need to do. But don’t confuse this marriage with love—I don’t love, and I don’t forgive."
Forced into a political marriage with the cold and dangerous Crown Prince of Arvenia, Zara Myles, a quiet orphaned scholarship student, is thrown into a world of luxury, secrets, and shadows.
She never asked for a crown. She never wanted to be locked in a golden cage. But when her guardians are threatened with exile, Zara signs her life away to save them.
Prince Rael Verendin is known as The Beast Prince—feared, ruthless, and utterly untouchable. To him, Zara is just another pawn in the royal game... until she starts to unravel the walls he's spent years building.
Cold glances turn to dangerous touches. Silent nights explode with tension. And beneath his cruelty hides a broken man who might destroy the world just to keep her.
But Zara has a secret too…
One that could cost her not just her crown—but her life.

A story of obsession, betrayal, and a love too cruel to be tamed.
