There’s nothing I desire that doesn’t end up in my hands. And there’s nothing I desire more than Iselyn Mikhailov. She hates me. She wants distance.

But who would have thought the prince of the underworld would actually make it come true? I don’t want this marriage. I don’t even want to see him. I gave him my heart far too young, built my most innocent dreams around him, only for him to shatter it without looking back. I will never love Matleon again. Not after what he did. less
