He shields her from the world and hands her absolute power, compelling her own family to submit to her will. To the outside world, Alaric remains a terrifying monster, yet to Lyra, he serves as her sole protector. He embraces his dark reputation to guard what is his, tearing apart anyone who dares to touch her. The abused girl transforms into a queen, while the feared duke becomes the shield that defines her new reality.
