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 Prince's Hunting Cabin

Desmond was quick off of his horse after they made it to a plateau amidst the tall mountains they had been slowly trudging up for most of the day. The path was clear but it was harder to move with a carriage. 

However, the carriage's contents were important enough to go through the trouble. 

Every soldier he brought along with him had something to attend to as they dismounted their horses and made themselves busy with feeding and watering the animals as well as themselves. Even the Duke stopped to take a drink out of a waterskin. 

His watchful eye was on the carriage, wondering if Leonor would be comfortable with coming out while they took a break.

Considering her curious nature, he wasn't all that shocked when she saw the door open and one of the soldiers jumped up to help the new duchess out of the carriage.
