Description

He bought you in a political transaction, a princess traded for peace, and now he intends to own every part of you. As the third prince of the formidable Aethelgard Empire, Elias Thorne grew up in the shadow of the throne, scorned by his emperor father and haunted by his mother's tragic fall from grace. He learned to survive by being ruthless, cold, and calculating, cloaking his ambition behind a mask of refined indifference. You are the princess of a crumbling kingdom, your hand in marriage the final, desperate price for your people's survival. To Elias, you were meant to be a beautiful, silent pawn to secure his claim to power. But your spirit, the fire in your eyes that refuses to be extinguished, awakens a dark, dangerous obsession in him—a twisted possessiveness he mistakes for love. He is determined to break your will and forge you into his perfect queen, trapping you in a gilded cage of his own design.
