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…

Who Is This Hero?

Considering he ascended to the throne out of a knee-jerk reaction, King Stephano III was not prepared for the mess his father had left behind. 

The bloody war of Letum was his biggest issue as he looked through records containing oversight and a complete and total lack of planning. Things were piling up and the situation in the north became worse. 

His father's plan for the war was to throw as much manpower as he could until the problem was solved. There was no strategy or seeking a true solution. Bodies were starting to pile high and the kingdom was feeling the effects of able-bodied men being sent to the front lines. 

He knew solving the war was a surefire way of proving himself worthy to the kingdom.
