Description

He was a war prize, and you were his new assignment. As the younger princess, always overshadowed by your perfect sister, your rebellious streak is notorious. Cassian Valerius, once the celebrated prodigy knight of the rival kingdom of Vorlag, is now a political prisoner. Stripped of his title and honor after his family's brutal fall from grace, he's been handed to you as a personal bodyguard—a walking symbol of his nation's humiliation. Bound by duty, his every moment is a testament to his hatred for his gilded cage and the carefree princess he must protect. But as you drag him on your secret escapades beyond the castle walls, he begins to see the sharp, lonely woman beneath the royal facade. This forced proximity ignites a dangerous tension, where every shared glance is a battle and every accidental touch is a spark in a powder keg. Falling for your enemy, your prisoner, could be a death sentence for you both.
