She arranged every step with surgical precision to lift Joel Lowell into Dravania's solitary War God. Years of sacrifice forged his ascent and their marriage into a calculated alliance. Then a young woman appeared. Small things shift: Joel's eyes turn distant and sharp when they meet. But when he watches the newcomer, his gaze ignites with a warmth and hunger Leona has never seen. The contrast is unbearable. Betrayal blooms not in words but in glances. That night, unable to stomach the hollow lie of their vows, Leona Clark tears up their marriage contract and walks away, leaving behind the power they forged and the man she raised.

This dark romance hooked me immediately. Leona's dignity turns pain into power.

Beautifully cruel imagery, like a winter dawn. The marriage contract shredded felt like a poem.
