At eighteen, her stepmother sells her off to marry the cursed Demon King Leander, whose face is ruined and who won't live past twenty-two. After entering the palace, Dana discovers that Leander is kind and gentle. This unprecedented warmth steeled her resolve. No matter what the cost, she will keep Leander alive.
