Izzie Hart lived a life of diamonds and glass — dazzling on the outside, fragile within. At twenty-one, she was handed over like a bargaining chip to a man whose cruelty was whispered about in boardrooms and bedrooms alike. Her parents said it was duty. Theo Dore said it was inevitable. Izzie knew it was a prison. But cages, no matter how gilded, are meant to be broken. As she fights to build a life on her own terms, a new name emerges from the shadows — Liam Atlason, a man powerful enough to challenge kingdoms, and dangerous enough to make her heart remember how to beat. Yet love is never simple in a world where alliances are made with blood and betrayal. As secrets unravel and enemies circle, Izzie must ask herself one question: When you’ve already been broken once... can you survive loving again?

My book really starts to pick up speed at chapter 15. Please let me know what you think of my book! Thank you for reading! I thought my life was perfect. Sure, we never left our mountain or forest and my brothers were hard to keep in line, but my family had each other. Mother and father left every now and again to sell remedies and I kept my brothers in check… for the most part. Our quiet cozy life was relatively perfect. Then the war came knocking on our door and I found out my family was never what I thought it was. I was left alone to pick up the pieces and find a way to salvage what was left and I discovered my families power. It was left to me and I will use it to protect what is mine. I will also find my brother and protect them, even if it’s from themselves! My journey may be long and treacherous, but only I can travel this path now. I will not only bring back what I once had but also find more than I was looking for, gaining new love and loss along the way. —————————————————— The mother and father are not mentioned by name in the early story on purpose. The female lead, who is also the main character, is not focused on as much in the beginning to help build a foundation for what makes her her which is her family. The female lead and main character is also neurodivergent slightly. So if her actions or point of view seem a little different that is probably why. Chapter comments and paragraph comments are welcomed and encouraged! I’d love to hear what you think even if it’s not positive constructive criticism is more than welcomed. Also I recommend rereading some of the earlier chapters if you read this before May 30, 2025.
