A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne.

Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows.

Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye.

Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair?

One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

I rolled my eyes at Eddie who was busy standing in a corner watching as Heather packed my luggage for mount Callum which were mostly just white dresses. The sister of the earth believe in purity. It's a little bit stupid if you ask me but it is a rule that once you get to mount Callum you have to behave like the purest of the soul, like being born again and live a sinless life in order to be blessed by Naktus. I honestly do not believe the whole stories I've heard about the sisters of light, I mean reading it in a book was different but going to see it in person was different.


I still thought the whole thing about the sisters of light was just a convenient excuse to keep the women away from society which I have no problem with since the society hasn't always been fair to women. But then I guess I should be glad that I was going to be visiting an historical moment.
