Summary
After a lifetime of being exploited for her healing powers by the imperial family, Princess Latis is nearly broken. When the empire is overthrown by the fearsome conqueror Diavel, a tyrant afflicted with cursed wounds, he gives her a brutal choice: heal him or die. To protect her people, Latis selflessly agrees. But her persistent kindness sparks a dangerous obsession in the ruthless ruler—not gratitude, but a dark and consuming fixation. Pulled into his shadowy world, she confronts a love that is dangerously possessive, a force as formidable as any war, where devotion may be more terrifying than destruction.
