Anneliese serves the kingdom as a saintess whose sacred dances are believed to bestow divine blessings upon the land. Yet instead of admiration, she is feared and isolated, branded cold-hearted as the infamous “Ice Saintess.” Manipulated by her father’s schemes, the other saintess candidates fall victim to tragedy while every accusation and sin is placed upon Anneliese alone. Even under endless scorn, she silently endures it all for the sake of the kingdom she swore to protect. But everything changes after she saves a child and suffers a severe injury to her leg. Stripped of her title as saintess and abandoned by her royal fiancé, Anneliese is left with nothing but despair. Then comes an unexpected decree: she is to marry Hervé, the knight she has cherished from afar for years. As their new life together begins, Anneliese finally starts to glimpse the warmth and happiness she thought she could never have. Yet dark forces lurking behind the scenes are determined to destroy her peace and separate the two once more. And while danger closes in, Anneliese slowly realizes that Hervé may have been hiding feelings for her far stronger—and far more passionate—than she ever dared believe.
