Her father chose loyalty to the king—and now Alessia has to pay for that choice: a wedding to a stranger, life in a house where shadows move at night, and a marriage to a prince who stubbornly keeps his distance from her.
Who is hiding behind the door at the top of the house? Why doesn’t Alessia remember part of her life? And how can she melt the cold in her husband’s heart without getting consumed by someone else’s secrets?
Once, Ludwig Freyn faced a choice—to serve the king or protect his loved ones. He chose family, and the price caught up with his daughter: Alessia is to become the wife of a man she doesn’t know. But what awaits her in the new home, where nights are full of strange sounds, and the walls keep traces of the past? Who is the person locked away upstairs, and why does her dazzlingly handsome prince of a husband avoid even chance meetings?
Alessia will have to untangle the knot of her own lost memories, face echoes of a former love, and be able to accept a new one—and, whatever it takes, find the key to her husband’s icy heart.
