In early-1530s England, Lady Aurora Charlotte of Harrington is forced into marriage with Crown Prince Aiden Tudor, sacrificed by her power-hungry father to bind their bloodline to the throne. Raised to be silent, obedient, and beautiful, Aurora enters a court where truth is treason and power is enforced through fear. Bound to a man bred to rule without mercy, she must survive a marriage built on obligation, control, and the quiet threat of becoming just another casualty of the crown.
