The General’s Forgotten Daughter

"Make sure you don't embarrass him," hissed Lady Mirelle.
Seren Veris planned the perfect celebration for her husband, Calyx Darion-only to watch him enter the ballroom with another woman and announce his engagement.
To someone else.
"She's prettier," they said.
"You'll be forgotten by morning."
But Seren didn't break. She walked out-and took everything with her.
Because Seren wasn't just the discarded wife. She was the hidden daughter of Magistrate General Veris, heir to one of the most powerful names in the Dominion.
"You were never the right fit," Calyx told her.
"Then I want a divorce," she replied.
The moment she signed her name, their empire began to fall.
And watching from the shadows? Riven Talen-Vireya's cousin. A political heir, sent to support the enemy. But he sees Seren for who she really is. Watches what they did to her.
"She didn't destroy you," Riven says. "She survived you. And somehow, she's still the most beautiful thing in the room."
Now, Seren's the woman holding the power. And she's done playing by anyone else's rules.
