EXCERPT:
His gaze ran over her like a flame - she felt her skin burn as his black eyes smothered her in the lust of smoke between them.
She looked away, avoiding his gaze. She felt that if she looked any longer she would lose herself completely. This was not a fight she could even dream of winning. She hated the way he made her feel. This feeling of having no control. This feeling of falling deeper and deeper into his personal abyss.
Azriel’s lips curled in obvious amusement but his eyes darkened immensely at her avoidance. “I’m well aware of the rumors that float around the capital about me. However, when did I become such a monster that even my beloved wife can’t dare to look at me? Your Highness, I am not a monster but I am also not a saint. From this moment on, you are my bride and I am not so generous as to allow my woman to love another. Settle this matter before we leave for the North or I will - and you’ve seen how I settle matters, haven’t you?”
-------
Princess Dione of the Salian Empire once basked in the love of her father, the Emperor. However, her world shatters when her elder brother claims the throne and callously auctions her off to a repulsive suitor, twice her age. Desperate to escape this dreadful fate, she seeks refuge in an unthinkable alliance—a marriage contract with the infamous Heartless Duke of the North, a man feared even by her tyrannical brother.
Azriel Devland, the revered War God of the Empire, returns victorious from the battlefield, only to face the Emperor's machinations to wed him to Princess Valerie, his longtime admirer. Cunningly, he employs the aid of the Holy Church to secure a sacred marriage contract, but destiny has an unexpected twist in store. The prophesied bride destined for Azriel turns out to be none other than Princess Dione, the one woman who has always held a special place in his heart.
Despite her resistance to the Heartless Duke and the enigmatic web of secrets that surround him, Princess Dione finds herself bound by the unbreakable ties of the divine contract—a bond punishable by death if violated. As their intertwined past comes to light and their connection deepens, they realize that the wrath of the Gods might be the least of their worries.
Will they succumb to the manipulations of the past, or will their love prove resilient enough to triumph over fate itself?

This review is merely to give readers and potential readers an update on why I have not updated this week. I am currently sick and have a bruised rib cage as well (moving homes) and so there will be no further updates until Tuesday or Wednesday. These updates will continue daily for one week as an apology. I’ll rest well and continue on with Dione and Azriel’s story!
A solid 5/5. If I could rate it 10, I would. Superb writing style, great imagery, vivid descriptions that breaths life to every chapter. I'm sure you'll the story as much as I did.
I truly enjoy this novel. The writer has created great characters and vivid scenes that suck you in. I'm very excited to see how the story of our rabbit princess and devlish duke evolves.

My girlfriend put her heart and soul into this book. her dedication to providing an awesome story is there. I highly suggest everyone read to the end because I’m telling you all the ending she has in mind is so creative and out of this world. Overall the book is amazing and a must read.
good book. it has an attractive plot and capturing setting. the character bond that grows and falls again rise will help us to know more about this novel. great book and best of luck
This is a really great story. I'm a sucker for historical romances and this book ticks every box. I love the FL and ML and their first encounter is both cute and dramatic at the same time. As a WPC book, this one should definitely rank high considering how well written it is. Can't wait to see where the author takes this story.
I have read the avaiable chapters and this novel is going to be a classic. The write has great command of grammar, the story paces well and captures you from the moment you start to read it. I am excited to see where the author will take this story.
A good periodical novel that might seem a little predictable/cliché at times, but the way it's written is truly exceptional and sets it apart. There are some fluffy moments that made me squeak. I'm already attached to the characters. I need more FL and ML interactions!
