Prologue

To love is but to hate.

One and twenty year old Magdanela is an ordinary King's guard's daughter. To uplift her family's status and ease her Father worry of a better future she promises herself to the Duke off the French Quarter.

Everything seems to be falling in place that is until she catches the King's eye and he demands she weds his first born son Theodore. Suddenly Magdanela finds herself caught between two men and the throne as she struggles to keep a promise all the while fighting her own sinful desires.
