Cain Greymane, the "Cursed One" of the powerful Greymane Group, thought his life was already over. Branded a disgrace and exiled by his own bloodline, he spent ten grueling years drifting through the absolute gutter of the urban underworld. He expected to die in those slums—until one fateful, rainy night, a strange girl offered him half a loaf of moldy bread, then unleashed a nightmare of iron thorns that slaughtered his executioners in seconds. Her name is Eve. She is the amnesiac daughter of a demigod, and she has absolutely no idea how terrifyingly powerful she truly is. With their lives on the line and enemies closing in, the two strike a desperate, shotgun marriage amidst a bloody thicket of briars. From that moment on, Cain has only one mission: protect his scatterbrained, deeply dangerous new wife. But the stakes escalate with blinding speed. The forces hunting Eve rapidly upgrade from ruthless mercenary corps to celestial emissaries from the Divine Realm—and finally, to the Chaos God itself. Yet Cain is no helpless bodyguard. He is the rightful heir to the Greymane Group. He is the sole master of Moonfall International. And he is the chosen sovereign, destined to be crowned beneath a wreath of briars. If she is meant to ascend as a god, he will forge her throne right here in the mortal realm.
