My world is cruel and unforgiving of mistakes. For ten years I existed, afraid of my own shadow. I expected that they would come for me at any moment. And now this moment has come. My name is Tiana Abremo. I am the daughter of traitors, cursed by my own mother. By order of the great emperor, I must become the wife of a savage from a rebellious island in the heart of the ocean, infested with sea monsters - krakens. He is Kaarch. Descendant of a once great and ancient family. The only one who can resist the monsters of the Dark One. Our alliance is doomed to failure from the very beginning. But what will happen if love intervenes in the game of rulers?
