Victorian & Jane Austen style romance. Lady Marianne is engaged to Prime Minister von Aegir by her father's will, and she resigns herself to a lonely life with a man she doesn’t know. Enter Duke Blaiddyd, a broken soul who has also sworn off romance despite the longing in his heart. Two starved dreamers fall into a forbidden love both passionate and restrained, entangled in a blasphemous web. Meanwhile, King Khalid and Queen Edelgard try to maneuver their own arranged marriage and the boundaries of trust, and Prime Minister von Aegir hides an opera-singing secret of his own. Fully illustrated with a painting for every chapter.
