King Silas was a man feared across kingdoms—ruthless, ambitious, and addicted to possession. Every throne he wanted, he took. Every enemy, he crushed. Nothing ever satisfied him... until her.

She was unexpected. Unattainable. The daughter of an ally, beautiful and sharp, and the only thing he couldn’t own.

From the moment he saw her, Silas burned. Not for power. Not for land. But for her. She became his obsession—his torment. He offered her gifts, promises, everything he had... and still, she resisted.

She gave him just enough to hope. Never enough to have. And it drove him mad.

Because now, her love mattered more than any crown he’d ever worn.
