The Fire Island. The air is soaked with fear and smoke, a place where a merciless king shows no mercy to the defiant. In the shadows of the capital hides a fugitive, her fate hanging by a thread. A sudden chase by the guard forces her to crash into the tall heir, Hyunjin. A cold stare meets desperation. She seizes his wrist, hauling him into a dark alley to save them both. Her breath comes ragged; the tension swells. "Do you have any idea who you just grabbed?" he asks. "Why were you standing in the way?" she fires back. "Insolent." "But free." For the first time, a spark of interest flares in his gaze.
