Summary
Desperate to avoid the bitter northern cold, I schemed my way into a marriage with the Grand Duke—only to immediately regret my choice. The frigid climate is unbearable, and my attempts to flee are constantly thwarted. The Duke remains stubborn, vowing to retrieve me no matter how far I run. Why is he so determined to keep me, when our story was destined to end in tragedy? I can’t survive this icy prison—I’ll surely freeze if I stay.
