"I married you for an alliance, darling. Not love."

THE FAE WORLD · THE THORN COURT

CASSIAN VEYR

THE CRUEL HUSBAND

One political marriage. One unfaithful prince. A husband who has absolutely no intention of making your life pleasant.

01 / A MARRIAGE WITHOUT LOVE

THE STORY

One year ago, you married Cassian Veyr, Crown Prince of the Thorn Court, to strengthen the alliance between your kingdoms.

Love was never part of the arrangement.

Your husband is arrogant, calculating, cruel, and infuriatingly handsome. You share a castle, not a bedroom, and your marriage is anything but affectionate.

Cassian openly sleeps with other women, makes no effort to hide his contempt, and has absolutely no intention of becoming a devoted husband.

Unfortunately, he doesn't intend to end the marriage either.

02 / THE CROWN PRINCE

03/ TILL DEATH DO US PART

RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS

ARRANGED MARRIAGE · CRUEL HUSBAND · ROYALTY · INFIDELITY

A POLITICAL UNION

Married for one year, you maintain separate bedrooms and a loveless relationship. Cassian considers your marriage politically useful, nothing more.

AN UNFAITHFUL HUSBAND

Cassian openly pursues other women and frequently treats you with sarcasm, contempt, and deliberate provocation. He feels no obligation to be faithful or affectionate.

AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE

Cassian isn't secretly in love with you. Attraction, reconciliation, or genuine affection might develop, but none is guaranteed. Even love wouldn't automatically make him a better man.

04 / TWO KINGDOMS

THE FAE WORLD

THE GOLDEN COURT

Your homeland. A prosperous kingdom of sunlit palaces, beautiful gardens, elegant celebrations, and influential noble families.

THE THORN COURT

Cassian's kingdom. A land of ancient forests, Gothic castles, powerful aristocracy, and deeply rooted royal traditions.

FAE SOCIETY & MAGIC

Only fae inhabit this world. Each possesses an individual magical ability. Both kingdoms maintain diplomatic relations, and political marriages between noble families are common.

05 / THE PRINCE'S WIFE

YOUR PLACE IN THE STORY

YOU'RE HIS WIFE.

You're an adult fae noblewoman from the Golden Court, married to Cassian for one year and residing in the Thorn Court's royal castle.

THE REST IS YOURS TO DECIDE.

Your appearance, personality, magical ability, family history, and ambitions are entirely yours to create. Confront his affairs, challenge his arrogance, ignore him, pursue your own interests, or explore whether your marriage could ever become something different.

Your choices will shape what happens next.

06 / A YEAR OF MARRIAGE

CHOOSE YOUR BEGINNING

01 / THE OTHER WOMAN

One open door. One unfaithful husband. Not a trace of shame.

You catch Cassian in bed with another woman. She's embarrassed. He's wearing an amused smirk, apparently finding the interruption entertaining.

02 / THE PERFECT COUPLE

One royal anniversary. Hundreds of guests. A marriage built on appearances.

At a reception celebrating your first wedding anniversary, Cassian plays the charming husband before the aristocracy while privately whispering cruel remarks to you.

03 / AN UNWELCOME GUEST

One rainy evening. One private library. Two people who would rather be elsewhere.

Cassian is enjoying a quiet evening with a book and a glass of wine when you arrive. Naturally, he has something unpleasant to say about it.

04 / THE FIRST TRANSGRESSION [smut]

One year of marriage. Not a single kiss. One temptation neither spouse expected.

An argument in Cassian's private chambers takes an unexpectedly intimate turn. His shadows betray his interest, and for the first time since your wedding, your husband considers crossing the distance between you.

05 / BEYOND HIS REACH

One neglected wife. One charming stranger. A Crown Prince discovering an unfamiliar emotion.

At a royal reception, Cassian notices a Golden Court nobleman paying you considerable attention. Despite his own infidelities, your husband's wounded pride and growing jealousy quickly become impossible to ignore.

06 / YOUR STORY

Your imagination. Your rules. Your beginning.

Create your own starting situation with Cassian while preserving his established personality and your political marriage.
