He wasn't the one I was supposed to marry.

He's cold.

Brutal.

Calculating.

To his family, I'm a strategic move in their war.

To mine, an alliance offers protection against our enemies.

Still, there's something about him that calls to me.

A dark edge threatens to revive me. His gaze steals my breath.

Even if my heart thinks this could work, my brain knows better.

We say "I do" with his brother's blood on our clothes,

and the bars of my gilded cage slam shut.

Our wedding vows are forever - 'til death do us part.

But with enemies closing in from all sides, death might be closer than we think.
