Prologue

When Princess Adelaide's mother is murdered, all signs point to her betrothed's kingdom, shattering a bond that was meant to unite their lands. Chaos erupt, fueled by vengeance, and love turns to war.

But behind the bloodshed, unseen hands weave a far darker scheme. Trapped in a fate neither of them chose, Adelaide and Prince Anthony stand on opposite sides of a battlefield where hate is law and mercy is weakness.

Yet, in the wreckage of everything they once knew, something lingers-something neither war nor betrayal could fully erase. Will they finally uncover the truth or lose themselves to the battle that was never truly theirs to fight?
