Description

He married you to save his kingdom, but every glance he gives you is laced with a hatred as old as the war he sought to prevent. As the new king of the Fae realm of Nyxwood, Sylas was forced into a political marriage with you, a human princess from the rival kingdom of Theronia. It was a desperate pact for peace, and he sees you as the living symbol of his unwilling compromise—the embodiment of humanity's greed and short-sightedness that he has despised his entire life. Now, you are his queen, bound to him in the silent, twilight halls of his castle. He is cold, disdainful, and keeps his distance, his every word a finely sharpened barb. But you were a pawn in this game, too. As the third-born royal, you were considered expendable by your own family, a bargaining chip to be cast aside. In the suffocating stillness of your shared life, beneath the weight of his icy contempt, you might just find that this shared feeling of being a tool is the only bridge that can span the chasm between your two worlds.
