In the mighty empire of Zerefia, where loyalty is scarce and power is everything, Empress Celistine’s world shatters when she uncovers the Emperor’s darkest betrayal — a secret love that threatens her very place on the throne. Harold Windelia’s passion for Medeya, a mysterious woman from the wild southern lands, ignites a dangerous game of deceit, ambition, and heartbreak.

Alone in a court full of whispers and hidden enemies, Celistine finds an unexpected ally in a mysterious and enigmatic man whose true motives remain unclear. As shadows deepen and loyalties blur, she must decide: fight to reclaim her crown or watch everything she’s known crumble to dust. With an heir on the way, the stakes have never been higher.

Dive into a tale of forbidden desires, ruthless politics, and a woman’s fierce struggle to survive when the crown she wears is no longer secure.
