Horrible secrets hide behind the luxurious facade of the Mekkon castle. The kind king has gone mad after his wife disappeared. The prince has no intention of marrying in order to strengthen the kingdom’s position. The only ray of light is Princess Annika—she dreams of the good of her people… and of true love. But her father decides to marry her off to a cold, arrogant nobleman, and Annika—strong-willed, resolute, and sensible—has no choice but to obey. Things are even worse in the crumbling Wazino castle, where power has been seized by a proud tyrant. The most ruthless warrior of his army, the only one capable of freeing his people from the tyrant’s yoke, is obsessed with just one thought: to conquer the kingdom ruled by Annika’s father and take the castle. Born as sworn enemies, Annika and Lennox do not yet realize how fatefully intertwined their lives are.
