A powerless woman’s worst nightmare is marrying someone against her will. When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place. Duke Desmond de Montclair was nobody before the war.

In a kingdom that idolizes beauty, there is no room for someone like him. At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge. However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

A Bit Darker Just Below

As expected of such a wealthy family, the lands surrounding the Martin Estate were pristine even in autumn. Despite the leaves having yellowed and fallen off of the vines along with the grapes being harvested, there was a certain beauty in the organization of each row. 

The four nobles rode in a carriage provided by the Martins to get to the fields. Looking at the rows passing by was almost dizzying, but once they could step foot in the vineyard, there was something satisfying about walking along perfect rows. 

Occasionally, they would find a worker cleaning up the space or fixing something, but otherwise, it was solitary at that time of year. 

As the ducal couple followed the marquess and his wife, they heard about the place's rich history and the winterization process.
