Being married to the Emperor of Osoro was nothing that Rae Cadoc had imagined. Emperor Dorian Enver was her sadist, and she was his masochist. They both were the reflection of each other's monsters, but when he tricks Rae into doing the unspeakable in order to annex the continentGedis, she knows that it is time for her escape and break free from his love that only drowned. Rae escapes the twisted prison of Dorian's love with her son and stumbles upon a Pirate Fleet led by the amiable, Valante. Even though they both start on a rough patch, Valante feels that the woman and her son on his ship are more than they appear. He is intrigued by the enigmatic Rae, but her resistance to his charms only drives him crazy and makes him want her even more. But when Valante saves her son, Rae starts seeing Valante in a whole new light. Can Rae find her salvation in Valante, or will her past catch up with her? Will Valante love Rae even when the dark secret that torments her at night is revealed? But the main question is, what will Dorian's wrath look like when he has a hand gripped around Rae's throat?
