A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne.

Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows.

Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye.

Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair?

One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

I was getting out of this place along with the other prisoners that was here, I was leaving no one behind!


This is thought that I've had these past weeks ever since my back healed and I was thrown back outside to start working. I decided to put more consideration into scoping out the place. I refused to believe that this place was that tight and there was no way out. Everywhere always have a way out, this place wasn't as impenetrable as they led us to believe. It had to be a lie, something that was said to instill fear inside the prisoners.


In each cage lies a hinge that yields, in each prison lay a brick that wavers among the ones that were built to hold the building, one just have to be desperate enough to find it. I spent most of time outside watching quietly and patiently, I'm sure there was something I missed.
