- By the will of the king! - the voice of the herald Harold the Conqueror sounded in my ears the death knell of my collapsed hopes for a bit of happiness. I am Lissandra, the eldest unloved daughter of the King of the Midlands. Red monster, a reminder of the beloved wife who died in childbirth. I am forced to marry the Duke of Grenston Merciless - the commander of the enemy army. Into a marriage neither he nor I need. Moreover, the duke has one to whom he devotes victories. But who will contradict the conquering king? I can only accept someone else's will, but I will decide how to live on!
