Publisher's summary

They're marrying me off to a monster.

I knew the day would come. I just didn't think it would be so soon.

I'm betrothed.

I'd always imagined my future husband would be some minor lord who'd value me only because I would bear him heirs.

I never thought Father would go to the capital and seek an audience with Emperor Valdon Duthriss himself. What unholy deal did he make that I, a mere baron's daughter, ended up betrothed to that man?

The son.

Corvan Duthriss.

War hero. Commander. Fallen.

They say the war in the Northlands changed him. Alongside his armies, he fought dark magic in the mountains. It transformed him. They say he's changed beyond recognition. That he refuses to show his face in the capital because he can no longer walk under the sun.

He's also the emperor's firstborn.

The once-heir to the Rahavan Empire.

And it's unheard of for a baron's daughter like me to marry into the powerful Duthriss family.

They're shipping me off before winter's end. To the cold, forbidding North. To the Cursed Archduke of Tyron.

I'll go. I have no choice. There's too much at stake.

I can only pray that Corvan Duthriss isn't as terrible as the rumors make him out to be.

I honestly loved this

Idk why everyone is shitting on the narrators. I think they were amazing? Maybe I’m just biased bc I’ve heard so much worse. Anyway I absolutely loved the story. It’s way better than the synopsis even made it out to be.

Narrators ruined a good story

It would have been great with different narrators. The male narrator was awful, he sounded like he was trying to be a polite monster, and the female sounded like she was reading a book. If this is a series, please choose better narrators in the future.

Female narrator ruins story

It was very hard to finish listening to this book. The female narrator ruined it for me. The male narrator was great and was the only thing that kept me going. Best to read this story to actually enjoy it!
