Chapter 1: Nadia

THE PRINCE
DECLAN LOCKWOOD has a lot to prove to his father when he storms the ancient city of Milona in order to access a long-buried treasure: a key that will grant immense power to whoever wields it.

And he gets a lot more than he bargained for when the key turns out to be not a thing but a person...

THE PRIESTESS
NADIA SANCTA has always been told one thing from the day she was born: no one can ever draw her blood. Her skin must never be cut, for it will bring immense ruin of unknown proportions.

But when a prince invades her temple, she must defend herself, and in doing so, becomes bound to him forever.
