News of the king’s sudden passing has reached the battlefields, and General Breyla Rozaria is determined to avoid attending her father’s funeral by any means necessary. Yet when news arrives concerning her mother’s engagement to Lord Aurelius—the male she hates the most—returning home becomes inescapable.
Breyla soon realizes the king’s death was just the beginning, and something far more sinister is coming for her next. Surrounded by more enemies than allies, she has no choice but to work with Lord Aurelius and unravel the mysteries surrounding the evil placing targets on her loved ones' heads.
However, the longer they work together, the more their forbidden desire for one another grows—even if he's the one male she can't stand and she's the one female he can't have. If they could put aside their differences, they might be the only ones capable of saving the kingdom from its terrible fate.
