I am married to the man I thought was my nightmare.I was sold to the palace to pay off my fathers debt. I never thought I would end up as the Crown Princes concubine. To me this is the thing that could have happened.I have had a tough life. I grew up with a stepmother who did not care about me and two stepsisters who were always jealous of me. They never let me forget that I was not wanted. I was always told that the royal family was responsible for my mothers death because she was a spy. So when I went to the palace I thought I was putting myself in danger.The man I have to serve is Crown Prince Ryan Valerius. He is a warrior and everyone in the kingdom is afraid of him. People say he has magic and that his blood is cursed. They call him a monster.Sometimes the people who seem the worst are not always what they appear to be.As I try to stay alive in the palace I start to discover that I have some powers inside me. These are powers that I have been hiding my life. They are powers that should not exist anymore.Then I find out some secrets, about my mothers past the princes curse and a very old conspiracy. I realize that I have been living a lie. The people I thought were my enemies may not be the ones after all.Crown Prince Ryan Valerius and I are connected by fate. We are being hunted by people and we are caught between love and betrayal. We have to find out the truth before it's too late and the kingdom is destroyed.I had to marry the man I was most afraid of.He thought that love made you weak.Neither of us thought that the person we feared the most would become our hope.Crown Prince Ryan Valerius and I were supposed to be enemies but now we need each other to survive.
