Dorothea, an illegitimate princess shunned by everyone, is forced into a sham marriage with the tyrannical crown prince of an allied kingdom in place of her arrogant older sister, as if she were being sold off.
If her true identity is discovered, execution is certain!
The crown prince offers her a deal: as long as she bears him an heir, he will not interfere with how she lives. But even before the wedding takes place, Dorothea finds herself in an intense physical relationship with him every day, walking on thin ice and constantly fearing the moment it might give way beneath her and plunge her into a bottomless lake.
And then…
When Dorothea enters the crown prince’s secret garden, where blue blood flows, she realizes one thing instinctively: there is no escaping this relationship now.
