In the mist shrouded realm of Aethelgard, Evelina was known for two things,her unyielding defiance and a beauty that felt misplaced in her humble life. But fate is a cruel navigator. Torn from her home and dragged across the churning, salt stained seas, Evelina is forced to trade her freedom for a chance to prove her worth in a world far more dangerous than the one she left behind.

  ​She finds herself a captive of the Courtyard of the Lord of the Night a place where the moon never sets, and the walls breathe with the weight of ancient secrets. ​In this court, where morality is a ghost and competence is the only currency. Evelina must navigate a labyrinth of ​Venomous Politics ,​Cold Ambition, ​and Hidden Loopholes.

  ​Amidst the lethal distractions of the nobility, Evelina’s focus narrows on Kaelen. He is the anchor of the courtyard’s power, a man as cold as the midnight air and twice as sharp.
