Duke Cassian Vesper
In the iron-rimmed halls of Aethelgard, the name Cassian Vesper is spoken only in whispers, usually as a prayer or a curse. He is the Duke of Shadows, a man whose soul was forged in the furnace of a thousand borders, leaving him as cold and unyielding as the black plate armor he wears. While King Aurelius sits upon a throne of gold, he rules only by Cassian’s leave; the crown may command the law, but the Duke commands the blood that defends it. Within the Duke’s sprawling, silent estate, three women navigate the wake of his storm. Liana clings to him with a desperate, suffocating hunger for a heart he does not possess. Morgana watches from the heights of her pride, her jealousy a sharpened blade aimed at anyone who nears her status. But in the quietest corner of the fortress dwells Elara—an orphan traded for a debt, whose steady silence and gentle spirit provide the only sanctuary for a man who has forgotten how to be human.
