Story

The story

Crown Prince Alaric's arrow strikes an orphan, Seraphina Moss, during the Royal Hunt, and he declares he must marry her to save her honor—though he is already betrothed to Lady Evelyn of House Ashbourne. On Evelyn's own birthday, Alaric appears at her family's estate with Seraphina and demands the engagement be ended, humiliating House Ashbourne before its guests.

Evelyn hands back the betrothal contract without a fight, and the scandal sweeps the capital. Summoned by the Queen, her aunt, Evelyn learns the throne's true shape: the Queen raised Alaric as her own and made him Crown Prince, yet he now defies her for a woman no one can place. The Emperor rages at the loss of House Ashbourne's backing, while Alaric insists he needs no great house.

Behind a screen, Evelyn watches him choose Seraphina over everything the crown was built on—and wonders what he will lose.
