Summary
Princess Sora was born to be possessed by powerful men—caught between the political machinations of her father and her betrothed. When Kai Nagasaki is sent to violate her to prevent the marriage alliance, the encounter leaves both of them shattered. And yet the empire doesn't blink. Nothing goes as planned, especially when Kai reappears in her life a year later, hired as her personal guard.
Kai had always carried ghosts—his family erased by imperial orders. But when he's assigned his darkest mission yet, it breaks him, releasing a darkness he never knew existed until he touched her. Haunted by what he's done and obsessed with the woman he did it to, he's caught between the monster he's become and the man he was—the only person who might understand her suffering.
What begins as a violent attack leads both of them down a dark path born of trauma and survival. What should be impossible becomes inevitable. In the spaces between captivity and desire, between a husband's brutality and a rapist's obsession, Sora discovers that sometimes the only escape is through the hands that broke her.
But in a world where power flows like blood, freedom always has a price. And some enemies never stop hunting.
