Frida Harkbourne, a frail woman from a lineage where daughters rarely reach adulthood, enters a political union with Duke Daniel Richards, a feared war hero. After being abandoned at the altar and left with a comatose husband, she seizes the resulting freedom to quietly revitalize his barren territory. Three years pass before Daniel awakens to discover that his wife has transformed the lands through sheer determination. As imperial intrigue, hidden enemies, and looming succession conflicts intensify, the wary duke and the dying duchess form a tense partnership. Their alliance holds the potential to alter their fates, provided Frida survives long enough to see it through.
