Aveline waited five years for Lucian, the proud Dragonblood Marquess, to make the oath that could break her deadly curse. Instead, he chased power and left her with nothing but humiliation and a broken heart. That night, she walked away and chose to face her fate alone.
Three years pass, and Lucian discovers the woman he abandoned is alive, thriving, and wearing a silver band that is not his. Now the once-unreachable lord is willing to destroy his own empire if that is what it takes to win her back—on his knees, if he must. But Aveline has already carved out her own salvation. Is his burning remorse enough to change anything, or is the chance to make it right long gone?
