Brave, proud Linny de Valcourt was cursed from birth by her relatives, as the younger of the twins. But when a threat loomed over the family and Baron Exton de la Mane, who had seized their castle, intended to marry the daughter of the former owner in order to legitimize his rights, it was Linney who offered to sacrifice herself and replace her beloved older sister Beatrice at the altar. Then Beatrice can marry according to her father's choice, and their enemy will lose the conquered lands. However, things didn’t turn out quite as planned—Linny and Axton fell in love with each other.
