Betrayed by her family and betrothed to a prince, Arlen runs for her life—only to be found by the domineering Duke Liam Crawford, the man she should fear most.

Cold, commanding, wealthy and irresistibly magnetic, he saves her with a single touch and claims her as his own. Every whispered command, every lingering caress, draws her deeper into a treacherous game with a man who sees her not as a wife, but as a prize to possess.

In his arms, danger tastes like desire… but will she surrender or survive?

Two cursed sisters. One lonely castle. Two strangers who awaken hope.

Astina struggles against the darkness consuming her, and Brillin endures life in a beast’s body, yet for eight years they’ve survived relying on only each other.
Then a gentle, silver-haired mage and a bold prince who believes in love at first sight arrive with promises of safety, freedom—and affection neither sister expected.

But even love carries shadows, and every heart hides its own secrets. If Astina dares to feel and Brillin dares to dream, they may risk everything they’ve ever held dear.
