Opal Hart is trapped by duty, forced into an arranged marriage to the Alpha Prince—a man she’s never met, never wanted, and can’t imagine loving, who has a terrible and cruel reputation. The night before her wedding, desperate for one fleeting taste of freedom, she shares a passionate encounter with a stranger who promises her a sliver of the connection she craves.

The next day, she’s meant to stand at the altar to meet her husband and resign herself to a life of sacrifice. But her new world is far more dangerous than she imagined. Whispers of betrayal and schemes swirl around her, and she soon realizes she’s not just a wife—she’s a pawn in a twisted game.

And somewhere in the shadows, the man who once held her so intimately isn’t ready to let her go.

In a dark and cruel world, will Opal end up a pawn, or will she find a way to claim her own destiny?
