Don’t trust him, and don’t love him either

In a sun-worshipping kingdom, Celestia was born with a tragic curse: an allergy to the sun’s light. Abused as a “hideous monster” and forced to hide her face behind a mask, she spent her life in shadows. That is, until Duke Adel—the flawless head of the prestigious Kreshti house—demands her hand in marriage. Celestia knows he doesn’t want her love; he seeks only her physical presence and her uniquely rich, potent blood. Yet despite the icy nature of their bargain, Adel begins to shower her with an overwhelming, sweet devotion that gently threatens to melt her frozen heart. Bound by deep trauma and hidden desires, can two wounded souls overcome their painful misunderstandings to embrace a true, eternal love?
