Once a revered princess, Mirea lost everything when her kingdom fell—her crown, her freedom, and eventually, her hope. However, because her pure royal Alpha blood made her too valuable to discard, Calisto, the crown prince, who led the war, claimed her as his bride to secure the perfect lineage. At first, he was nothing like the monster she expected. Instead, he was gentle, patient, and devoted. And slowly, against all reason, Mirea decided to give him the one thing she had left to lose. Her heart. But love built on chains does not stay kind, because as the years passed and she remained childless, his warmth started to rot into cruelty, and the man who once worshipped her began to break her piece by piece, by taking a mistress. Trapped in a gilded cage, she found unexpected solace in Arkin, Calisto’s most loyal and strongest warrior. Now torn between the Alpha who claimed her and the warrior who desired her, Mirea found herself at the center of a dangerous love affair—one that could either break her completely or give her the strength to reclaim her destiny.
