When the the Ruler of Vincula, Caius, has her delivered to his throne room on the day of her sentencing, he is determined to make her existence in Vincula as miserable as possible. Why? Because she is the object of all his desires, and feels as if her arrival was a way to punish him.
With a reputation that’s followed her to Vincula, and a King determined to make her life a living hell from the moment she arrived, will she ever be able to get the revenge she so desperately craves, or will she find herself distracted by shadows that call to her heart?
They may have been brought together by chance, but will a need for revenge tear them apart?
