Description

In a galaxy torn by war, Elysia Fairchild navigates a world turned upside down after she is thrust into an unprecedented marriage arrangement. Orphaned and content running a humble flower shop on the desolate planet of Lowland, Elysia's life is simple until she finds herself entangled with the legendary General Cedric, a war hero with a formidable reputation. With a twist of fate, she must masquerade as his Omega wife, a role that forces her into a world of lace gowns and rigid expectations that terrify her. As Elysia grapples with her new identity, the tension mounts with the approach of Cedric's anticipated return from battle. They both know that their marriage is merely a façade—a means to an end that will dissolve the moment the war is won. Yet, as months pass under his watchful gaze, Elysia finds herself wrestling with her growing feelings for the general and an unexpected, life-altering truth: she may be pregnant. The stakes rise as Elysia decides to keep this revelation a secret, envisioning a quiet life raising a child among her beloved flowers, away from the chaos of duty and expectation. But her plans shatter when Cedric returns, determined to confront her, bearing the weight of his own secrets and the burdens of the Empire. The impending annulment looms like a storm cloud, threatening to disrupt the fragile happiness Elysia has managed to create. As whispers of court politics and rumors swirl around them, will Elysia find the courage to forge her path, or will the storm of obligation pull her back into a life she desperately seeks to escape? A tale of deception, self-discovery, and the powerful ties of love and duty, this gripping narrative entwines readers in a web of suspense that will keep them on the edge of their seats until the final page.
