Rumor had it that a monster roamed the Virgamau Mountain Range. From mercenaries to merchants, all spoke of the anguished scream that plagued the night. But no matter where anyone searched, it couldn't be found. That was until Indu Ambrose set off, deep at night, to explore the desolate mountains in hopes of discovering the monster haunting the mountains. But what she found turned her life upside down. Axer Vasilios was the hero of the lands. As the slayer of Sobek, the monstrous creature that had awakened two years ago, his name was recognized in every household. As a Count, his impartial rule and kindness grasped the hearts of all who lived in his lands. But when he saved Indu in the mountains, what he didn't expect was to meet the women he had been searching for for over five years. His heart was hers from the moment he saved her from her kidnappers all those years ago. But the wounds they inflicted upon Indu left a permanent scar over her eye. Scorned and outcasted by everyone but her family and only friend, her heart had already forgotten the word "love." Can Axer change her? Will he open up the heart that closed long ago, the heart that he so desperately needs? Will he finally claim Indu as his own?
