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.

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 Fight

Most people would never know the true struggle of having one eye unless they experienced it themselves. 

The people Desmond saw after being injured often said "At least you still have one eye". Yet there was no 'at least' for him. 

No one considered his lack of depth perception in day-to-day tasks. He moved slowly most of the time to avoid mistakes. Many couldn't ever understand having a large blind spot and lack of peripheral vision that made him paranoid constantly. 

If someone watched him for only minutes, they would see his head dart around occasionally, hoping to prevent anyone from sneaking up on him. 

The most paralyzing side effect of having one eye was the strain his remaining eye had on it constantly. If he read for too long, the headaches were excruciating. If it was dark, he felt practically blind.
