Once the nation’s strongest warrior, Zayn Thorne is now a man bound by his past—a war god with paralyzed legs, struggling to regain the power he lost. But when his wife, Elara Wynter, is betrayed by her own family and forced to hand over the empire she built, Zayn finds himself torn between his oath to protect her and his own haunted legacy. Elara has spent years fighting for everything she’s earned, but now, with her family scheming against her, the ruthless pressure to submit is overwhelming. Her grandmother, a cold-hearted matriarch, demands she give up control of the family business. Her brother, Dorian, has his own plans to take what’s hers. With her heart heavy and her will crumbling, Elara is about to lose it all… until the war god who once stood by her side returns to fight for her. Can Zayn overcome his past, reclaim his strength, and protect the woman he married—even if it means defying the very family that betrayed them both? Or will the shadows of war and family deceit tear them apart forever?
