Years after a war tore their kingdoms apart, a princess reunites with her childhood friend — now the dangerously elegant Duke Sunghoon of a rival nation.

Gone is the gentle boy who once made pinky promises beneath palace gardens. In his place stands a man wrapped in black velvet and silver-tongued cruelty: intelligent, manipulative, impossibly charming, and far too good at getting under her skin.

As old memories and political tensions collide within the palace walls, she begins to realize that Sunghoon’s return may not be a coincidence at all.
