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?
Facing her punishment (2)
She let the words sink in, taking them as a joke until she saw her brother's unwavering expression.
"I'm sorry, sister. I can't do this anymore." He told her, despite knowing how broken she would be.
She gasped in disbelief. "Sorry? Why? Are you abandoning me"
"I can't believe that's how you would take it." He shook his head.
"You helped me through my darkest times, brother." She whimpered. "But if you leave me now, I might become mortal. I don't want to suffer like all these mortals! I don't want to grow old…to die."
He couldn't believe that was all she cared about. If she wanted to live so badly, she should never have broken the rules she knew would cost her immortality.
She grabbed his arm. "You have to help me. You've already done the hardest part." She forced a frail smile. "I know you can do it. You have grandmother's locket. If you change just one detail in the past or present, I won't have to die."
