Chapter One
House Tiuri is noble in name only. Its fortune was gone, its reputation rotting, but there was hope. Keir Tiuri once dreamed of earning a place in the Royal Guard, but the day he presented as an Omega, every path closed in front of him.
Through a strange chain of events a royal edict arrives. Keir is commanded to marry the Duke of Ibis—a rumored chronically ill, disabled Alpha with a dangerous reputation. Keir expects a tyrant and a life of misery. However, what he finds is also someone fighting against the path that has been laid out for him.
