Ellie Lin, a twenty-four-year-old daughter of the Night Court, is forced into an alliance she never wanted: a marriage to Lloyd, the heir of one of the realm's most powerful High Lords.
Cold-hearted, disciplined, and notoriously reserved, Lloyd commands respect without uttering a word. He keeps his emotions buried beneath an impenetrable mask, appearing entirely indifferent to his new fiancée. But beneath his icy exterior, dark secrets linger.
Ellie, however, has no intention of surrendering quietly. She has a life of her own-and a heart that already belongs to someone else.
In a world where alliances are sealed in blood and loyalty is valued far above love, Ellie must navigate the dangerous politics of the Nine Courts. To survive, she will have to bear the weight of a crown she never asked for, all while playing a high-stakes game with a future husband who is determined to keep her at arm's length.
