Synopsis

She ran from an arranged marriage—only to find herself being forced into another. In the enemy kingdom, nonetheless.

Augusta Caredelle is a war orphan with a strange curse, on the run from an arranged marriage when she stumbles into the enemy kingdom responsible for her father’s death.

Mistaken for a citizen, she is captured by the king’s men and thrust into a bridal competition for the crown prince.

Her only hope of survival is to fail the trials, because if her true identity is exposed, it will mean execution.

But everything changes when she sees him—the last person she ever expected to find in the enemy’s royal palace.

The man who once held her heart.
The one who promised he would return.
The one she loved even in his absence.

Only… he isn’t who she thought he was.

Betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, and Augusta no longer craves escape. She wants answers. She wants revenge. She wants to torment him, the way his lies torment her.

And when she discovers that the crown prince’s growing interest in her drives him mad with jealousy, she seizes that weapon with both hands.

Once, he was her promise.
Now, he is her enemy.
But some hearts don’t know how to stop burning.
