The Duchesse Vassetre has always been a stubborn woman. Following the death of the king, the young princes Grégoire and Louis squabble over the throne, putting the kingdom in a precarious condition. While Grégoire technically has stronger claims, he lacks support. When Sabine, Duchesse Vassetre, refuses to endorse him, she's forced to hire Faron, a personal guard, for her protection. However, Sabine and Faron's chemistry cause a different sort of strife. This book contains LGBTQ+ themes, violence, revenge, discussions and depictions of genocide, threatened sexual violence, adult language, BDSM themes, and consensual sexual content.
