In the kingdom of Vesper, where winter lasts a decade, and power is won through blood, Scarlett Scoria, the last unwilling heir to the Golden Throne, has never craved power. Raised in the shadow of her ruthless brother, she’s spent years honing her skills in the boxing ring, not the royal court. But when a deadly new law forces her into a political marriage with the mysterious and powerful Viscount, Scarlett must step into a world of treachery, deception, and magic. As her connection to her kingdom’s ancient prophecy awakens, Scarlett is torn between her duty to her family and her desires. With enemies closing in and dark forces threatening to destroy everything she holds dear, Scarlett must forge alliances, uncover buried secrets, and confront her past—especially the haunting memories of Kai, the man who shattered her heart. In this gripping tale of love, power, and sacrifice, Scarlett discovers that destiny is not written in the stars but in her choices.
