With no powerful family or influential backing, the priestess Diarin is always the one handed the most thankless missions. So when she’s assigned to help the famed war hero Ceres readjust to civilian life, she vows not to be taken advantage of again. This time, she’ll play her cards right—earn recognition, secure a well-deserved promotion, and finally change her fate.
However, the moment she arrives at Ceres’ estate, she’s met not by a decorated hero, but by a feral, snarling “mad dog” of a man. Ordered to accomplish the impossible—transforming this volatile beast into a refined noble—Diarin throws herself into the task with unwavering determination.
Yet as she patiently tends to him, she realizes something is going terribly off-script. The war hero she meant to tame is slowly becoming fixated on her… and that dangerous devotion was never part of her carefully calculated plan.
