But apparently, fate doesn’t ask for permission just your compliance.Now she’s stuck in a castle where smiles are weapons, herbs can kill, and the only thing more dangerous than the monsters in the woods… is the King she works for.Alaric is cold, brilliant, and burdened with a crown carved from centuries of blood. He’s also the only person who seems to hate Rina more than he wants to understand her and yet, the more they clash, the more the kingdom watches.Because she wasn’t chosen at random.And neither was he.Between shadow games, emotional landmines, and trials designed to break more than bones, Rina will have to uncover why she was brought here and whether healing others is even possible when you can’t heal yourself.This isn’t a love story.It’s a power struggle between two broken souls who were never supposed to find comfort in each other and now that they have, it could cost them everything. less
