    Summary

    After the war leaves Dal in ruins, Queen Rumi Ryu offers her hand in marriage to secure peace with Taeyang.

    Instead of the crown prince, Taeyang answers with a calculated insult: a bride she was never meant to accept. Bound to an enemy she was raised to hate, Rumi must choose between her kingdom’s survival and her own heart, while learning that the most dangerous battles are fought within gilded walls.

    Her heart aches, yearns, even, for them, to be close to them, to grow old with them.
    But something ugly coils within her; she loves them, but not in that way, and so few people seem to understand.

    Summary

    Rumi was never meant to stand in the spotlight, she belonged to the shadows, carrying scars no one was supposed to see. Mira has lived her whole life in the glare of it, polished and untouchable, even as her world threatened to crack beneath her.

    When Rumi is assigned as Mira’s bodyguard, neither of them expected more than duty and distance. But what begins as obligation slowly unravels into something neither expected.

    As danger closes in and secrets surface, both women are forced to confront what it means to trust, carry scars, and to risk everything for someone who might just matter more than survival itself.

    Summary

    Rumi takes notes in careful Greek, the letters flowing from her pen with the ease of muscle memory millennia deep. She's been auditing Dr. Park's "Greek Mythology and Society" course for three weeks now. Before that, it was a semester of Medieval Literature at a college in Maine. Before that, Introduction to Archaeology in Ohio. Before that, a blur of lecture halls and libraries and temporary apartments where she never unpacked all her boxes because what was the point?

    She'd been doing this longer than Vermont had been a state—longer than the language these students speak had settled into its current form. She'd watched the printing press change everything, watched the Industrial Revolution remake the landscape, watched the Internet arrive and make the world simultaneously larger and smaller.

    She's good at watching. It's staying that she's never mastered.

    OR

    Rumi can see every possible future. She still didn't see Mira coming.
