Description

To win his hand, you must first win his voice. Caspian Valerius, the warrior-emperor they call the 'Pale Ghost,' has not spoken a word since he claimed the throne. Haunted by the wars that forged him, he rules in silence, his only confidant a formidable black wolf that guards his solitude. Desperate for an heir, his council issued a decree: the one who can draw speech from the emperor's lips will become his royal consort. Lured by the challenge, you arrive at the palace to find not a tyrant, but a lonely man drowning in quiet sorrow. While others see a prize to be won, you might be the first to see the prisoner trapped behind those desolate grey eyes, a man who needs not to be conquered, but to be heard.
