Description

He was supposed to marry your sister, but the moment his eyes met yours, the fate of two kingdoms was sealed. For the sake of a powerful alliance, your family has arranged for your perfect, celebrated older sister, Seraphina, to marry Emperor Elian of the great Tidal Empire. You, as always, are just a footnote in her story—the quiet, overlooked younger princess. But upon your arrival at his sun-drenched seaside court, the unthinkable happens. Emperor Elian's gaze, as deep and stormy as the ocean he commands, sweeps past your radiant sister and fixes solely on you. In that instant, he sees not a shadow, but the woman he will have. Now, you are caught in a tempest of his making: a political alliance is in shambles, your sister's fury is a storm on the horizon, and you are the unwilling center of a powerful emperor's sudden, unyielding obsession.
