Synopsis
After Rubiana’s parents were unjustly killed by the ‘Tyrant King’, she decided to protect her younger sister Callena the only way she could- by transferring her right of succession to Callena. Although Rubiana did not want to pursue revenge, Callena was filled with ambition to become not just a king- but an emperor.
Rubiana, who couldn't refuse her sister (not sis-con!),supported her sisters campaign after which she was deemed the duke of the treacherous beast-infested Northern territory. With peace restored Rubiana just had one more task left to complete-honouring the Oath she made to God by offering her first born child to the church. To do so the fearsome ‘Duke of Blood’ Rubiana has to first find a husband. But she could’ve never imagined that husband to be the illegitimate son of the Tyrant King himself!

Notes
This was so fun to read! It does this very cool thing where the gender roles that are typically assigned to ‘Duke’ and ‘Illegitimate Child’ are reversed. So, the Duke is a badass female and the Illegitimate Child is a kind, smart, gentle man. It was very interesting to read how that dynamic could be different when the genders are switched. And it’s done in a non-satirical way, which I love! The characters surrounding the main couple are also dynamic and fun to follow! Especially Callena- who I am both scared of and in love with.
