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…

A Change of Plans

Despite Count Christopher's tendency towards entertaining women, as Desmond looked through the well taken care of township, there was little work that need to be done.

The duke saw clean, well organized streets with well-stocked food storage and buildings already winterized. Luckily, the ground didn't freeze very early considering the large body of water that kept the surrounding area's temperature more stable than in the west or north. 

Without having to ask, he was updated on the seeds for farming next year and where they had repaired the wall towards the west that had been cemented so that ice wouldn't damage in case they met that sort of climate this winter.
