What happens when two damaged souls collide in a royal court built on lies? In the kingdom of Gloria Terra, Prince Tristan Faasa lives in the shadow of his brother Michael, the newly crowned king. His distinctive facial scar-a jagged line bisecting his left eyebrow and cheek-marks him as the dangerous "spare" heir, feared and dismissed by the royal court. Behind his carefully crafted facade of debauchery lies a calculated plan: Tristan secretly leads the impoverished citizens known as "hyenas" who inhabit Gloria Terra's sprawling underground tunnels. When Sara Beatreaux arrives as King Michael's intended bride, Tristan initially dismisses her as "mediocre"-just another noble pawn. Little does he know that beneath her eager-to-please demeanor lies a woman as complex as himself. Sara has spent seven years meticulously preparing to infiltrate the royal family, believing King Michael executed her father during the Autumn Rebellion. Behind her sweet smiles and perfect manners hides a woman who straps poisoned daggers to her thighs and memorizes guard rotations, determined to destroy the Faasa family from within. Their inevitable collision will shake the foundations of Gloria Terra and force both to choose between vengeance and an unexpected chance at redemption.
