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…

Royal Liar

The transition from Crown Prince to King was difficult for a few advisors to accept. Some didn't witness firsthand the carnage left behind after Stephano killed his father. Those who didn't see his viciousness didn't have the reality of their new king shoved into their faces so violently.

For those who didn't bear witness, they took longer to consider Stephano III their true ruler. During meetings, some seemed to slight him or talk down to him more than they should someone who was meant to be their ruler.

Of course, it shouldn't be so different when he escaped the capital for a month without so much as a word to the people he deemed unimportant.

When they discovered the hidden letter in his study after a couple of weeks, they brought an entourage to Montclair and were forced to stay in an inn while the festivities of the Spring Equinox Festival raged on for a week.
