At the heart of the empire reigns Alistair, a 42-year-old emperor whose mature beauty and impeccable bearing—always shaven and with an icy but deep gaze—make him the desire of many, though he remains unmoved; his deep sapphire-blue eyes reflect only the memory of his one true love, who died in childbirth. leaving a void that none of his multiple concubines has been able to fill, since he never visits them. This melancholy devotion translates into a suffocating overprotection of his only daughter and heiress, 16-year-old Zafira, who inherited the same sapphire eyes from her father and lives like a silk prisoner within the castle walls. Zafira has a passive and submissive personality, silently accepting the confinement imposed by her father's fear of losing her, although inside her burns a spark of rebellion fueled by her readings of forbidden loves, a destiny that she longs for but believes unattainable.
