Description
Erendira Akari Amantea was born with eyes the color of red and a name that meant "smiling princess" a cruel irony for someone who had forgotten how to feel. Raised behind the gates of the most powerful family in the world, she lives in a mansion colder than winter, bound by secrets and silence. People speak of her brilliance in whispers, a ghost prodigy, a perfect heir, a weapon carved by discipline. But she is tired. Then came Esmarie Zahria Blair, an actress from the sunlit islands who laughs without fear and shines in places Erendira didn't know were dark. She arrives uninvited into Erendira's world during a short vacation, and unknowingly steps into the mouth of danger. Where others would flinch, Esmarie smiles. Where others see thorns, she searches for the bloom. She should've stayed away. Because Erendira's world isn't made for love. And some roses bleed when touched.
