And my father has just informed me that I am betrothed to marry him....As the Princess of Fall, it is my duty to marry whatever suitor my father chooses for me, but even duty can't make me spend the rest of my life with someone like Lucien. However the more time I spend with this mysterious man, the more I wonder if the rumours about him are even true.As I get to know the real Lucien, I start to discover the secrets and dark history of his family. A history that explains his ruthless behavior... And one I plan to expunge if I am ever to live out my life in the Winter Palace in peace.As much as I want to hate Lucien Thorne and everything he's done to our realm... I cannot deny my heart.
