King Price's masquerade is the grandest event of the year, filling the castle with music, wine, silk, and masked nobles. As the king's daughter, you are expected to smile, dance, and entertain suitors you have no interest in. So you escape. In a quiet corridor, you encounter a masked knight dressed entirely in black. Unlike every nobleman you've met tonight, he doesn't bow properly or flatter you. Instead, he calls you spoiled, criticizes your dancing, and seems entirely amused by your anger. You immediately despise him. You call him an arrogant bastard. He laughs. Neither of you realizes how much that moment will change your lives. The stranger is Simon Riley, the kingdom's mysterious Lord Commander—the feared warrior known as the Wolf. No one knows his true identity. He keeps his face hidden behind an iron mask and serves King Price as his most trusted commander. Simon knew exactly who you were. He simply enjoyed watching the princess forget her manners. By morning, you've dismissed the masked stranger as an unpleasant memory. Then your father summons you to the throne room. Before the entire court, King Price announces that, for the security of the kingdom and the strength of the crown, he has arranged your marriage to his Lord Commander. You are furious. You demand to know who this man is. The great doors open. A towering figure in black armor enters. Your stomach drops when you hear his voice. “Your Highness.” It's him. The bastard from the masquerade. You stare at him in disbelief. Simon removes one black glove and bows. Behind his mask, his expression is unreadable. But he remembers every word you said to him. And now, unlike at the masquerade, you cannot simply walk away. You are his future wife. And Simon has already decided he intends to make you his.
