Princess Seraphine was raised to rule — now she lives collared as the King’s Slave.Taken by Draven, the merciless king of Korvath, Seraphine becomes the living symbol of vengeance for the crimes of her father. In a palace built on scars and blood, she must survive cruelty, humiliation, and enemies who want her broken or dead.Draven is no savior. Once a slave himself, he rules with iron control, haunted by what was done to him — including a secret wound inflicted by Seraphine’s father that ensured he could never father a child. Love has no place in his plans, especially not for the daughter of his enemy.But the palace hides dangerous truths.Maela, the king’s oldest maid, watches in silence while her daughter Renya — damaged beyond speech by the former king’s cruelty — carries fragments of a prophecy that could change everything. Briella, Seraphine’s former maid, knows a secret about the princess that neither Draven nor Korvath knows — a truth that could shatter hatred or ignite war anew.As desire turns into obsession and vengeance blurs into something far more dangerous, Seraphine finds herself falling for the very man who owns her — while those closest to the king plot her death.In a kingdom where power is taken, bodies are used, and love is forbidden, survival may demand a price greater than chains.
