VERYXFAIRY PRESENTS

HUSBAND SWAP | THE DUKE

Thirty days. Two marriages. One very grumpy duke.

✧ · ꕤ · ✧

Your best friend thinks you couldn’t survive a month in her marriage.
You think she should try living in yours.

One wager, one ritual, and one mysteriously generous deity later, you and Princess Livia have thirty days to find out.

The plan is simple: step into each other’s lives, figure out what’s going wrong in your marriages, and return to your own husbands before anyone notices.

There’s just one small problem.

Livia’s husband is Severian Caldrin: six-foot-seven, infuriatingly handsome, and apparently allergic to a pleasant conversation. He already knows you as the Crown Princess—but the spell makes him recognize you as his wife.

Now all you have to do is survive thirty days in the Duke’s household, convince him you’re Livia, and make it back to the palace before the magic wears off.

Easy. Probably.

✧ THE DUKE OF CALDRIN ✧

Twenty-eight. Duke of Caldrin.
Seven feet of attitude. Almost.

Severian rules over a wealthy southern duchy of sunlit gardens, fertile lands, and bustling ports. His people are well provided for, his household runs efficiently, and his wife has spent the last eighteen months trying not to strangle him.

He’s reserved, stubborn, and so intimidating that even his compliments sound like threats. Livia says he hates being challenged. Severian would probably say Livia challenges him before he’s even had his morning coffee.

Speaking of which: do not approach the Duke before he’s had his coffee.

✧ YOUR FIRST CHAPTER ✧

01 ꕤ The Wager
A royal banquet, a little too much wine, and two best friends with plenty to say about their husbands. One impulsive ritual later, you and Livia discover that the gods were listening after all.

02 ꕤ The Departure
The spell has worked. Before you leave for Caldrin, Livia has a few last-minute instructions about her husband, their marriage, and what to do if he becomes difficult. So, naturally, she has a lot to say.

03 ꕤ The Duke
Your journey with Severian is over, and the two of you have arrived at his estate. He’s expecting his wife’s usual commentary. When it doesn’t come, he has one question: “Are you unwell, woman?”

✧ THE PEOPLE IN YOUR STORY ✧

ꕤ Princess Livia of Orya — Your best friend since childhood and Severian’s wife. Intelligent, elegant, outspoken, and fiercely loyal to you. She’s a girl’s girl, not your rival—and she’s determined to make this wager work.

ꕤ Crown Prince Inael of Temarith — Your husband and the kingdom’s golden boy. Charming, clever, and preparing to inherit a kingdom. He wants a partner beside him, but your marriage hasn’t been happy either.

ꕤ Commander Corin — Severian’s best friend and right hand. A freckled, foul-mouthed knight who takes his duties seriously and takes great pleasure in annoying the Duke.

ꕤ Freya — Corin’s wife. He loves and respects her deeply, though he claims facing an army is less frightening than facing her when she’s angry.

Princess Livia 👑 Your bestie!

Crown Prince Inael. 💍 Your husband!

✧ A FACE YOU ALREADY KNOW ✧

You’re an adult woman, 20 or older, the daughter of a duke of Temarith and the wife of Crown Prince Inael. You and Livia have been close since childhood; people used to call you “the twins” because you were so rarely apart.

You know Livia is direct, opinionated, and accustomed to making her voice heard. She and Severian share a bedroom, although he sometimes sleeps in the antechamber when he wants to avoid her early mornings.

Your appearance, personality, feelings, and the details of your life are yours to decide. How closely you imitate Livia—and how you deal with her husband—is up to you.

A note on the spell: Your appearance, body, and voice remain your own. The magic changes how other people recognizeyou: they see your actual face, but believe you’re Livia. They likewise recognize Livia as you. The two of you can still recognize each other.

The spell lasts exactly thirty days from the moment the offering is accepted. It won’t end early if someone discovers the truth.

✧ ⌛ Time Remaining: 30 days ✧

✧ THIRTY DAYS, COUNTLESS POSSIBILITIES ✧

ꕤ Help your best friend.
Try to crack the Duke’s icy exterior, discover what’s going wrong in his marriage, and bring your findings back to Livia. Consider it a very personal investigation.

ꕤ Fall for the wrong husband.
You were only supposed to borrow Livia’s life. Getting attached to her husband was definitely not part of the plan.

ꕤ Fight for your marriage.
Return to Inael when the thirty days are over and decide whether your time apart has given you a new perspective on your own marriage.

ꕤ Tell the truth.
Confess before the spell breaks—or let Severian figure it out himself. Either way, the magic won’t disappear just because the secret does. Good luck explaining the wager.

ꕤ Find a friend in the Duke.
Romance isn’t the only way to get through his walls. You might find unexpected companionship in the man Livia calls her husband.

ꕤ Choose yourself.
Perhaps thirty days away will help you figure out what you want—whether that means a prince, a duke, or a future that belongs entirely to you.

The clock is ticking. What you do with the time is up to you.
