Branded the daughter of a traitor, Lilly’s fate is sealed before her life has even begun. Condemned to serve the Order of Elysia, the Empire’s most revered and secretive guardians, she is bound to those who helped destroy her family’s name. The same Order that preaches honor and purity hides the blood of her father on its hands. Within the marble halls of Elysia, nothing is as it seems. Whispers of forbidden magic and ancient glyphs linger in the air, and the deeper Lilly is drawn into the Order’s mysteries, the more tangled the truth becomes. Her past refuses to stay buried, her blood carries power others would kill for, and the lines between loyalty and vengeance begin to blur. As secrets unfold and shadows stir, Lilly must decide whether to serve the crown that condemned her, or burn down the world that took everything from her.

Sophie was close to her 18th birthday when her life would change forever. Due to a horrible war that reached the region where she was born as a noblewoman, she lost everything she ever had. But it would come much worse than she had imagined. After she was captured and was enslaved by the alpha king, she had to hide her true identity in order not to be tortured and killed by the new ruler. Having no experience in being a slave whatsoever, she soon made some fatal errors that would seal her destiny. As the personal slave of King Benedict, she only hoped to fulfil the commands she was given by her new master, according to the way he wanted her to. Something about the king intrigued her, but deep inside she hated him for killing her family and destroying everything she knew. That is why she closed her eyes to the true connection she had with him. Luckily, he did the same, as the alpha king was cold-hearted and had little mercy for slaves and servants under his command. And so began her new life of obedience and submission. Will her life at court be a blessing or a curse? Will her true identity be revealed and what will she do about the bond she and the king seem to have?
