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. He garnered the King’s favor by doing the impossible in battle. Unfortunately, any achievement is eclipsed by his appearance and unbearable personality. 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…

The Durands of Montville

As always, the party rested halfway through the day, knowing they would arrive in Montville late that evening. 

After resting, Desmond decided to ride outside of the carriage so they would be easily identified when entering the township. There was high mistrust because of jewel thieves in the mines and monsters in the surrounding mountains. 

Leonor was understanding. While it was preferred to ride with Desmond next to her, watching him in action was better than she could have ever imagined. She found herself easily admiring him. 

Even though he wore a hood because of how cold it was getting outside, she took notice of his straight posture and skill on horseback. He looked regal with his silver sword at his side and black leather gloves with gold buttons that tightly gripped the reins of his horse.
