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.

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.

A Declaration from the King

Leonor feared for the end of the school year. It was her last year at the Academy unless she stayed to become a teacher like Quinn, but there weren't any open places for her. 

As the weather warmed up, Leonor knew she would be heading back to Burien Manor soon. She needed to reintroduce herself to noble life and ensure her place as her father's successor. He had already pestered her plenty for missing so many social obligations. 

However, a big part of her didn't care what the nobility thought of her. Perhaps that was her biggest flaw. 

In the years she had been at the Academy, she had been strengthening herself. Her body was strong and she was no longer starving. With her newfound confidence in herself, she feared her father a lot less. He seemed so pathetic compared to when she had no choice but to rely on him.
