I pray every day that this love will die.
That I will love you only until today, and by tomorrow, this love will be gone.
Born of an affair, the ill-fated imperial princess, Thalia Roem Gwirta.
She grew up warped and wounded, surrounded by indifferent parents, hostile half-siblings, and servants who looked upon her with quiet disdain.
To survive, Thalia learned to shield herself with thorns, pushing everyone away. But even she becomes completely defenseless before one person.
That man is Varkas Laedgo Sykan, the noble heir of the East.
A vassal of the imperial family and successor to a Grand Duchy, he was raised under unforgiving expectations of perfection. Enduring discipline that bordered on abuse, he grew up with most of his emotions numbed, a man who lives solely for duty and the honor of his house.
To fulfill a promise made to the late empress, he becomes engaged to Thalia’s half-sister, Ayla.
And Thalia, consumed by despair, begins to slowly break apart.
However, the love that was meant to end in her death takes an unexpected turn...
