Princess Ophelia has always understood her role: to serve the crown, to obey her parents, and to secure the kingdom's future-no matter the cost. When she is expected to marry a wealthy man twice her age, duty leaves little room for hesitation.
Then, one night, a stranger enters her chambers.
Kael, a blacksmith with no place inside palace walls, vanishes before the guards can catch her-unseen by everyone except Ophelia. By morning, the palace remains unaware of the intruder's identity. Instead, they summon Kael as a tradesperson, commissioning her to reinforce the very windows she once slipped through.
Kael knows exactly whose chambers she entered.
She also knows she should refuse.
But the payment is too generous to ignore.
Ophelia keeps Kael's secret.
Not out of mercy-but because she needs her.
What begins as a quiet arrangement soon draws them into closer proximity, where trust is fragile, boundaries are unclear, and every choice carries consequence. Beyond the expectations of court and crown, both women must navigate a world shaped by power, obligation, and the limits of what they are allowed to want.
Because some paths are chosen for you.
And some-once taken-cannot be undone.
