Bride of the Northern Wind

Where did duty end and desire begin?As war consumes the Empire of Tu, Princess Yu is forced into a marriage meant to end a devastating war.But peace comes at a price.Far from home, she finds herself surrounded by people who see her not as a future queen, but as a prize of conquest. A political bride. A symbol of victory carried across the northern plains.Yet Princess Yu is determined to write her own story. Deep within her heart, she carries a secret, a truth capable of changing everything.And at the center of it all stands the man she was forced to marry.The King of Kax is a man shaped by war. Scarred by fire and battle, he is a warlord known not for mercy, but for conquest. A man whose name is spoken in whispers, whose past is written in blood.As duty, loyalty, and desire become increasingly difficult to separate, both are forced to confront a truth neither expected.For in a land ruled by strength, even the greatest warlord may find himself completely, and undeniably, conquered.
