As the niece of the ruthless current king, her duty is clear: do whatever it takes to secure the throne for generations to come. But Elise has no interest in royal obligations—she’d rather gamble with servants in shadowy halls than play the perfect princess at court.
Her carefree defiance ends abruptly when her uncle forces her into a marriage negotiation. Refusal isn’t an option—her ailing father’s life depends on her compliance.
Bound by duty, Elise finds herself under the supervision of Legion Grey, a strikingly handsome yet enigmatic dowry negotiator. But Legion is no ordinary man. He stirs not only her temper but also a forbidden desire.

As Legion’s haunting truths come to light, Elise faces a harrowing choice: allow the beast within him to reign or sacrifice herself to end the curse and restore magic to the land. With bloodshed looming and alliances crumbling, Elise must decide if her love is worth the ultimate price.
