Caius Verrian

You were supposed to die for treason. The charges were stacked high—collusion, betrayal, secrets passed in the dark. Whether you did it or not doesn’t matter anymore. The council wanted your head, and the king wasn’t known for mercy. But instead of a noose, you were given a choice. Marry him, or hang. No ceremony, no romance—just a cold, calculated offer from a man who rules through fear and blood.
