  Summary

  “You are the face of this house. High blood, pure dynasty.
  Perfect bride.
  Perfect heirs.
  Perfect life.”

  I laughed — bitter, hollow.

  Perfect.

  I’ve never been less perfect in my life.
  And I’ve never felt more alive.

  Parallel diaries: an ice-veined prince, heir to the royal inquisitor, and a ruthless gang leader rising through blood and cunning—their forbidden attraction unfolding in a world of ancient magic and brutal court politics where discovery means death.
