She has died for him once already, she just doesn't know it yet. Hyacinth Vaelthorn never wanted a crown, a contract, or a werewolf king who looks at her like she is the most irritating thing he has ever encountered. But when her sister flees the night before the wedding, Hyacinth is pushed forward in her place, sold by her own father, bound to a man who despises everything she is, in a kingdom that would sooner see her dead than seated on its throne. Kael Ashveil has ruled the North with an iron will and a colder heart since he was nineteen. He does not want a wife. He does not want a human.

The contract is simple. There should be no affection, no interference, no love. She gives him an heir, the curse breaks, and they part ways. The contract said no love. No one told their souls. Except nothing about Hyacinth is simple, and the visions that have been haunting her since the moment his hand closed around hers are beginning to tell a story she is not sure she is ready to hear, a story of another lifetime, another war, and a choice she made once that cost her everything. She died protecting him, and he never knew. And now she is back, falling into the same orbit, watching the same walls go up around the same man, and wondering if this time, she will be brave enough to make him catch her before she falls. Some curses are not punishments. Some are just doors left open, waiting for you to finally walk through.

His eyes traveled all over my body, from head to toe. It made me self-conscious for some reason. "The dress fits you well,” then he paused and murmured, looking at the floor. "I was wondering if you'd like it or not." "Huh?" His head turned to me again as if he was freed from a trance. "So now will you tell me what I have to do for you, sir?" I said sarcastically. "What?" He looked at me with surprise. "What? You have to have some purpose for keeping me here by force," I said, pressing on the last two words. He paused for a few seconds and then the lamest thing I could have ever imagined came out of his mouth. "Yes, you are here to serve me," he stated blankly. "What? Did I hear you right? You knocked me out, kidnapped my sister, and blackmailed me into coming here just to be your servant?" I cried out in disbelief. A smirk began to settle on his face as he took in my reaction. He was enjoying this absurdity even more! "Yes, dear. You are here to serve me. From now on, you will be with me 24 hours. All matters regarding me are your responsibility from now on." This is insane! Is he really a pervert? What is he trying to pull? "But you already have a lot of servants!” I protested. “And they're always at your beck and call too! Why the hell would you have me kidnapped for this? And who gives new clothes and breakfast in bed to a servant?” This was driving me crazy. Was he playing with me? Probably, a rotten rich vampire prince playing for fun. But I was not going to play hooky with him. No way!
