The disgrace of House Winston. Daughter of Sandra, the runaway dancer who disappeared into the night just three years after her wedding. A tongue sharper than any blade. Helena Winston – forever involved in scandal.

One day, she was caught alone with the Crown Prince – her childhood friend – by none other than the Crown Prince’s fiancée and the Empress.

As Helena agonised over how to deal with the situation, the Empress made her an offer.

“There is a young and handsome Count in the south. Recently, I’ve heard rumours that he’s linked to a group that threatens the stability of the Empire.”

Her mission as the Empress’s spy: to uncover the secrets of her future husband, Benjamin Ischfern.

But she never imagined he’d be so mad.

“Are you ignoring me now? Don’t look away. This is your punishment.”

“Y-You lunatic! I said let me go!”

And in the grandeur of the wedding hall, she stares down at him, cursing:

‘Fine. Let’s play your little game. I’ll peel back every layer of your secrets – and I’ll be the one to bring you crashing down.’
