Summary
Aracilla’s world is upended by a chilling precognitive dream: her sister’s life will end shortly after an arranged marriage. To rewrite fate, Aracilla makes a desperate choice – she’ll marry Damian, the younger brother of her sister’s intended groom. The only problem? Aracilla is a cunning magician, and Damian is a formidable knight, and their history is a fiery tapestry of rivalry and mutual disdain. From snatched magical orbs to near-dungeon escapes, these two have been at each other’s throats. Now, the very individuals who were moments away from throttling each other are dramatically bound by a ‘special contract marriage.’ Their ironclad rule: no romantic feelings, ever. They’ll never see each other as anything more than partners in a strategic alliance, even if they live and die together… or so they fiercely declare. But as their lives intertwine, unexpected concerns and a strange protectiveness begin to surface. Can two sworn rivals truly keep their hearts out of a marriage of convenience?
