(Temporary Book Cover)
Some inherit kingdoms. Others inherit the sins that built them.
In the imperial kingdom of Myraval, blood dictates worth, wealth rules the law, and the crown has buried more secrets in the graves below their palace than the kings themselves know.
Evangeline DeNova has never seen a world without her privilege. As the only daughter of a powerful duke, she was raised in silk curtains, gilded halls, and an unshakable certainty that those of lesser birth were born simply to serve. Beautiful, poised, and spoiled, Evangeline never expected the lowborn coachman who once humiliated her to be the man who would one day ruin everything she has ever known.
Stephen Albrecht was born to a woman society despised for the life she lived, and never cared for the kindness she gave. Ridiculed for his birthright, denied the respect given to noblemen, Stephen learned at a young age that virtue only led to pain. Behind his obedient mask lay a sharp mind, and beneath his servile nature was a simmering hatred that would one day consume an empire.
When fire devours the DeNova estate, Stephen takes a risk to save Evangeline. As dawn breaks, he vanishes attempting to rescue Matthew Fenwick, an enigmatic leader of a powerful vigilante organization. No body was found. No one knows what happened. And the boy Evangeline once bullied has now been buried in the ashes of her memory.
