The Synopsis
What it's about
In a world where elves and humans have been at war for centuries, a prophecy binds an elven prince. He can only claim the throne by marrying a fragile human. When a human family offers their eldest daughter's hand in marriage, she flees. This forces the family to deliver her younger sister, Verbena, instead. He exiles Verbena to a remote house, abandoning her until she comes of age. Verbena barely survives amid poverty and abuse. Abandoned, forgotten, unwanted. When the war for succession erupts, the prince is compelled to fulfill the prophecy. He searches for his neglected, sick wife, only to find a poor woman clinging to life. And against all odds... she is his mate. A sacred bond, forgotten for centuries. She is a traumatized woman who hates him to death. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness? While his brothers fight over succession, the prince must deal with a prophecy, an unexpected mate, enemies, betrayals, and an impending war.

"I'm here to help you, beloved," I whispered, my voice trembling as I pulled her broken, bleeding body against my chest. *Beloved.* The word slipped out before I could stop it. I had never spoken it in my long immortal life. I am Prince River, the most ruthless Elven royal in the kingdom. For five years, I left my human wife to rot in an abandoned cabin. She was a cripple, a mistake, a joke of a bride handed to me by deceiving humans. I despised her. I locked a silver collar around her neck, dragged her to the edge of the forest, and forgot she existed. But today, when I tracked her down, I found my bride battered, bruised, and dying at the hands of human rebels. I slaughtered them all in a blind, unexplainable rage. I ripped them apart with my bare hands. And when I finally fell to my knees in the blood-soaked mud and touched her cold skin, the ancient magic in my blood reacted in a way that hadn't been seen in four hundred years. *Mate.* The universe has a twisted, cruel sense of humor. The fragile, broken human girl I had thrown away was my fated soulmate. As I stroked her dirt-smudged cheek, she flinched in sheer terror. Her eyes, filled with horror, looked at me not as her savior, but as the monster who broke her first. She didn't feel the magical pull. She is human. She only knows the pain I caused her. "Please... let me go," she gasped, using her last ounce of strength to push away from my chest. My soulmate would rather die in this filthy mud than let me save her. And the worst part? Now that the mating bond has awakened, I am bound to her forever. If she dies, my soul shatters with her. I, the immortal Prince who bows to no one, am now entirely at the mercy of a dying human girl who hates my guts. I must heal her. I must hide this explosive secret from the court. Because if she finds out she is my fated mate... she might just use this power to destroy me. ad.readinkapp.com
