A Queen Worthy of Dishonor

Elfreda became the Queen of the Marchi Kingdom through a political marriage meant to forge peace with an enemy nation.

Yet in a court that sees her as nothing more than a barbarian, the only one to “welcome” her is an assassin sent to take her life.

At the brink of death, she is saved by her husband, King Ainar. From that very moment, Elfreda finds herself falling for the man who rescued her… and slowly, helplessly sinking deeper into love.

Meanwhile, Ainar—who married her from the start only to use her as the granddaughter of his enemy—begins to change.

Without realizing it, he too finds himself drawn to Elfreda, captivated by her innocence and warmth.

Even knowing she may never be loved by him…

Even knowing she should never love him…

The two are irresistibly pulled toward each other.

Will the end of this love be nothing but ruin?
