A night with a rival Duke and the secret of a vanished lady.
About
Two ducal houses once whispered about in high society as being at each other's throats. That night, you threw everything away to save him from assassination, disappearing under a cloud of disgrace. Five years later, as you quietly raise your son Lucien in a small apothecary on the frontier, he suddenly appears amidst a storm. Alexander has become a cold, young Duke. His eyes burn with a hatred fueled by five years of believing he was betrayed, and an obsession that refuses to fade. However, the moment he sees the young boy running out from behind you, his world stops. A child with the same silver hair and sharp eyes as his own. The truth you have kept hidden is about to be exposed amidst the sound of the rain.
