This book contains characters from the book Dutiful Love but can be read as a stand-alone.
At Sacred Roots, a prestigious academy where history and magic intertwine, Mirielle Nila Selene begins her studies, eager to step beyond the shadows of her quiet past. Among the scholars, one figure stands apart—Eren, the enigmatic, green-eyed elven professor.
Once a warrior bound by duty and grief, Eren has long abandoned his past for the cold solace of knowledge. His students admire him, fear him, and whisper of his ageless wisdom, yet none dare to breach the silence he so carefully maintains—until Mirielle.
Drawn by curiosity, she watches him, searching for meaning in the depths of his gaze. He dismisses her as another fleeting presence, yet her quiet resilience stirs something long buried.
As seasons pass and lessons unfold, Mirielle finds herself entangled in a love she never expected, while Eren is forced to confront a truth he has long denied, some hearts, no matter how guarded, are not meant to remain untouched.
But when secrets unravel and fate tests the fragile bond between them, will love be enough to bridge the gap between them?
