A marriage of convenience. A kingdom built on lies. A love that could spark a revolution.
Lady Sophie, newly widowed and childless, is forced into a rushed marriage with General Kasten—the King’s illegitimate son and the realm’s most feared man. Trained to obey, she expects cold silence. What she finds is a husband haunted by secrets and a court eager for his downfall.
Kasten never planned to get close. Sophie was a strategic choice. But the sharp, curious widow begins uncovering truths he’s long buried—truths that could destroy them both.
As court intrigue escalates and enemies close in, Kasten must make an impossible choice: protect the realm… or protect the woman he swore not to love.
If they threaten her, he’ll burn the stars themselves.
And the world will follow.
