Ruby

Her name is Ruby. To protect the kingdom, the girl was given in marriage to the prince of a neighboring country. But not a handsome one, as in fairy tales, but a cruel and wicked one. The happy marriage did not happen, and now Ruby pretends to be a lady-in-waiting in a foreign kingdom to save her life. A monstrous creature that hunts her breathes down her neck, while a mysterious foreign warrior, possessing a dangerous gift, offers protection. Princesses like her were taught to beware of such men. But Ruby did not know that she should fear not the warrior, but the consequences that their meeting would bring, and the feelings that could be more dangerous than death itself.
