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?
Faced with Prince Zephyr's question, Marlena ground her teeth as she tried to think of an excuse. Eventually, she would tell him the truth about why she couldn't get too close to him but now was not the right time. She took a few sips of her tea and coughed in a fit. "I haven't been feeling well this morning. I'm afraid riding will not be good for me."
He reached over the table and placed the back of his hand on her forehead. He chuckled. "You are alright."
"But I feel nauseous. I should see the physician before deciding to ride. The royal physician is currently not in the castle because he follows the king and queen like a shadow in case they suddenly fall ill, but my mother knows lots of things about healing."
