Synopsis
When Princess Asché meets Ethan, the second prince of a neighboring kingdom, they share a moment neither forgets. Years pass. Her brother orchestrates a marriage that would make her the ninth wife to a foreign Emperor—a life of cold duty. Asché refuses that fate. She kills her brother and pays for it with imprisonment within palace walls. Then revolution breaks out. Ethan, now fighting against the imperial order, slips into her locked room. What ignites between them carries dangerous weight, tangled up in the collapse of empires and the choices that will reshape both their futures.
