A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?
"Why did you do it?" She asked. She was certain his reason had nothing to do with absolving Darius of the guilt that would come from the thought of having killed his mother. If deities were meant to be forgotten after their death, didn't it mean their killer would forget about the entire incident as well? Where would the guilt stem from?
Knowing he had been caught, Elifur could only tell her the truth. He waited for Ylvia to leave before he told her, "I did too many things that harmed the very realm I was tasked to protect."
"Killing a deity doesn't do anything to help you protect it. Maybe you shouldn't have helped her in the first place." She scolded him with her hands on her hips, but that was not what he was going on about.
"Although I cannot do much to help right now, killing Kyrah quickened my retribution."
