Her eyes shone like the brightest star in the night sky... That was how she was once described, beloved by all as Princess Rowena of the Bennett Empire. But her days of happiness did not last. At fifteen, Rowena was accused of murdering her half-sister and lost everything she once had. Afterward, she endured years of hardship and misery. Five years later, a message arrived from Finlay, the Emperor of the enemy nation of Osborne. He intended to bring Rowena to his land. Finlay had seized the throne with his own hands by killing his father, the former emperor. The two had once spent their childhood together like brother and sister. Yet now, burdened by resentment and guilt, Rowena cannot be honest with him, while Finlay hesitates to touch her with hands stained by sin. Thus, the wheels of fate begin to turn once more for these two whose paths had long diverged.
