The name Cassian Valerius is whispered with dread across the realm. Known as 'the Shadow of Valeria,' this Grand Duke is a figure of glacial authority and pitiless judgment. Yet beneath that armored exterior burns a single, unwavering flame: his love for his only daughter, you. Your mother, the Duchess, was lost bringing you into the world, but Cassian has guarded you from that grief with fierce, spoiling affection. (You are five years old.)
