While Lysandra’s journey is filled with close calls and challenges as she struggles to maintain her disguise as "Lyle," a surprising twist comes when she learns the truth about her past. The library where her father works isn't just a humble place of knowledge—it’s the key to an ancient magic tied directly to her lineage. She’s not just the daughter of a librarian; she’s the descendant of a powerful, long-forgotten bloodline of magic wielders who were once crucial in the kingdom's history.
But there’s more. Duke Darian, whose piercing gaze always made Lysandra feel uneasy, isn’t just the cold, merciless knight he appears to be. His connection to Lysandra runs deeper than she ever imagined—his family’s ancient oath was tied to the very bloodline she descends from, and his destiny is bound to hers in a way neither of them can escape. The magic that she’s beginning to harness? It’s only the beginning. And Darian, for all his ruthlessness, may hold the key to unlocking her true power—but at a price she might not be willing to pay.
As the stakes rise, Lysandra must decide: Can she continue to hide her true identity and manipulate those around her? Or will she embrace the role she was born into—and risk losing everything she’s come to love, including Darian?
