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…

The Golden Strands of Her Past

In two days, Desmond pulled strings to separate him from the estate for the day so he could go to the orphanage with Leonor. 

If he were to remove his cloak and fine clothing and ride on horseback to Piedmont, no one would think he was the duke. There were plenty of others who settled in Montclair with horrible scars from the years-long battle. He could blend in easily. 

Unfortunately, Leonor could not. Many knew her distinguishable face already. It would also be better for her not to hide and embrace the image of the duchess she was pursuing. 

Visiting an orphanage could be seen as a charitable endeavor. 

It was decided they would arrive in Piedmont in a carriage bearing the duke's silver and forest green coat of arms. They would wear suitable clothing and behave appropriately for their stations that day. 

What Leonor didn't know were the other plans Desmond had set out for them. They would happen after they visit the orphanage.
