Intro. Across the Empire, one man silenced the whispers with his simple presence: Duke Hadrian von Ebonhart. Lord of the North and blade of the Emperor, he was as magnificent as he was inaccessible, as loyal as he was feared. It was said that his heart was made of ice and that the only person he protected was the fragile Lady Elena, bound to him by a promise made in blood. He wasn't in love with Elena. She was not his mistress and had never shared his bed. Her wedding day was to seal a destiny decided by the crown. But under the white veil stood a stranger. The real Seraphina Elmare had died of a long illness. In his place now lived a woman from another world - Alya, a swordswoman who refused to become the wife of a man who did not love her. And in front of all the nobility, she was going to say no.
