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.

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…

Winning Him Over

Leonor didn't mind that the child was wary of her. Rather, she was relieved that the boy seemed to trust Desmond wholeheartedly. 

Considering he left the other children to greet him, Desmond thought it would be fine to pick him up.

Seeing her husband with a child in his arms gave Leonor a new view of Desmond she had never seen before. It was a double-edged sword that made his decision never to have a child with her all that much more painful. 

At times she thought she had accepted this decision and was relieved he didn't want her to suffer the pains of childbirth. Other times she wondered if he felt she couldn't handle it. She wondered if her mother thought she was defective for not being able to get pregnant again for such a long time after Anna Maria.

Yet she couldn't be mad seeing the child smile as the duke held him. It caused Leonor to wonder how much Desmond visited the child for a mere toddler to have such familiarity with him.
