A final war. A fate uncertain. A bond forged in fire.

Alina
My marriage began as a cage. Now, it may be my only sanctuary.

To survive, I must rely on the very monster I once feared. With every tender touch, every protective command, the line between love and hate dissolves further.

He thinks he’s chained me to him. He doesn’t realize... I may be the one who refuses to let go.

Alexei
She is finally mine. My wife. My obsession.

But a shadow looms over us, a vicious twist of fate that threatens to tear her away. I would burn down the world for her, but this is a battle I cannot win with violence.

Her brothers think our vows are her prison. They are a promise. One I will defy heaven and hell to keep.
