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…

Life Changed

There were official procedures for everything when it came to receiving a noble title. 

It wasn't as simple as Desmond announcing it as such, and it is so. The duke had to receive special permission to appoint a baron on behalf of the king. For months, he sent message after message singing Gerard's praises until Stephano deemed him worthy enough. 

After Gerard accepted the responsibilities, they would have to enter the Durands in a registry in Coeurvalle that would give them special permissions and name an heir for the land so it would never be without a leader. 

With the title, the Durands would finally have the ability to formally recruit a military force that would be at Gerard's will rather than the duke's. Even though he would have to consider the well-being of greater Montclair in his decisions, he wouldn't have to always wait for Desmond's response–which was especially hard to come by due to the very nature of secluded Montville.
