A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?

Meanwhile, in the Ivrasean castle.

Queen Penelope had been unable to meet up with her advisor in private. They had taken much longer than usual to get back to Ivrasea from Itrusia and when they did, King Reginald had immediately called for a meeting, during which she was guarded.

She knew that Reginald had begun suspecting her and had sent a spy to follow her around, which is why even when the guards stopped hovering around her, she didn't grab the first chance to have a word with her advisor and instead waited until she was certain that the spy had stopped following her, then she sent a message to her advisor through her most trusted maid.

It didn't take long for her advisor, Eleanor, to arrive. "Your Majesty." She bowed after closing the door behind her. She looked more tensed that Penelope was.
