    Summary

    The door swung open, loudly crashing against the wall, a knight looking for the banshee that had somehow made its way into the castle. But instead all he saw was the lady of the castle screaming, blood all over the bed, the midwife moving around, and Ludis pulling a small bundle of blankets away from Maxi and into her arms.

    For any other newly married woman, becoming pregnant immediately after marriage must be a blessing to be thankful for. But for Maximilian? It was a horrifying thought. That she would become like her mother and aunt, a vessel for the child her husband wants, used until she is no more than a broodmare.
    And to find out while still in her father’s estate? There was no way to have hope, unless… she was able to escape.
    Plans fall through easily when Maxi has no knowledge of the outside world. But at least her husband’s men are there to take her away to Anatol, the home she had no knowledge of.
    But what happens when Riftan returns from the dragon subjugation, and has a different idea of how their life will be?
