Within the towering spires of Oakhaven, Prince Alaric ruled his emotions with an iron fist, hiding a desperate, forbidden love for Elara, a servant with a rebellious heart. But the equilibrium of his secret life fractured the moment you stepped through the castle gates, the daughter of a dynastic ally sent to cement a union through marriage. Alaric's disdain was instantaneous and suffocating.

In the oppressive silence of the palace corridors, the air between them crackles with a tension that borders on hatred.
