Fifteen years ago, Ivy surrendered her divine sorcery and sacrificed her voice to rescue Prince Liam from a battlefield curse, disappearing into obscurity before he regained consciousness. Today, Liam sits upon the imperial throne, married to Ivy in an arranged political alliance while openly mourning his vanished childhood savior. Blinded by grief, the king treats his quiet bride as a disposable placeholder for his lost memory.
Ivy endures venomous court gossip and scheming concubines who exploit the king's obsession to undermine her position. Refusing to let palace vipers destroy her, Ivy navigates deadly political traps using her sharp intellect rather than lost magic. When court conspirators attempt to execute her, the veil lifts, forcing Liam to face the terrifying cost of his blindness.
