Abandoned in endless snow by the man who once promised to love her, Empress Roselyn faced her final moment. Her wounds—the very reason the emperor called her repulsive—became the chains of her exile. With only a blood-stained sword as a companion and the bitter cold as her executioner, she surrendered to oblivion. But fate had other designs. General Tamon Krasis emerged from the blizzard, an enemy transformed into savior. While the court had cast her aside for her disabilities and tragic past, this powerful general saw something worth claiming. "You are mine now, Empress," he declared, refusing to let her fade into the frozen darkness. What began as a daring escape became an obsession—a dangerous alliance between enemies bound by possessiveness and desire. Roselyn had lost her family, her crown, her reason to live. Now she faced something far more threatening: a man who wouldn't let her go. As they fled together through the aristocratic landscape of a European-inspired world, betrayal and forbidden passion intertwined. The clingy, obsessed general pursued her relentlessly while she, once apathetic to life itself, found herself caught between survival and something dangerously close to love. In a world of affairs, cruelty, and noble intrigue, the stolen Empress and her captor would discover that true power lies not in thrones, but in the one who refuses to abandon you. Even when everyone else has.
