A revolt in the kingdom of Earlswald results in the deaths of the corrupt and debauched king, along with his wife and son. Cayden, the rebellion's commander, is crowned the new ruler and bestows the title of duke upon his closest ally, Eli—a commoner by birth. Though hailed as a hero for his wartime exploits, Eli is widely believed to be a ruthless madman, inspiring terror in both friends and foes. Because a nobleman once backed the former king, he is forced to offer his eldest daughter in marriage to Eli. Instead, he sends a servant named Edna, claiming she is his illegitimate child. Their marriage begins awkwardly, but Eli grows curious about Edna's refined manner and fiery nature, while she discovers that her husband is far more complex than the rumors suggest. Still, Edna must keep up her disguise—if Eli learns her true identity and why she harbors such deep concern for the kingdom, she would lose not only their marriage but also her life.
