A slow-burn historical romance filled with dark secrets, hidden obsession, and a love that defies all rules.
Drowning in financial ruin, my stepmother did the unthinkable: she sold me to the royal court.
Thanks to my high academic grades, the royal officer assigned me to a highly coveted, yet deeply feared position: the personal servant to the Prince. The wages are more than enough to save me, but the cost might be my life.
The Prince is a ruthless warlord, infamous for his cruelty on the battlefield and his cold blood at home. He lives isolated in a separate estate, a place whispered to be a graveyard for the servants who came before me.
No matter the horror, I desperately need the money to survive. But as I step into the tyrant's shadow, I realize the rumors didn't prepare me for the dangerous, suffocating obsession that is about to unfold.
