Betrayed by her family. Used by the man she loved. Traded away in a marriage meant to save everyone but herself.
When Elena Bennett discovers that her fiancé never loved her—and that she has been nothing more than a shield protecting the woman he truly desires—she walks away from everything. But her escape leads her into an even darker world: a mysterious husband believed to be comatose, a powerful empire built on secrets, and a masked stranger who seems to know her better than anyone.
As lies unravel and old enemies close in, Elena must decide who she can trust. But the biggest question remains: is her new husband her salvation… or the most dangerous deception of all?
