Mia works as a mortician in freezing Prague, living a life colder than the funeral parlor itself. Plagued by her brother’s illness, heavy debts, and endless loneliness, she finds a bloodied, amnesiac man under a bridge. She needs a fake husband to secure a noble foundation’s medical treatment spot for her brother; he needs a legal identity. Their makeshift marriage was meant to end cleanly once the review passed. But when Leon, the amnesiac drifter, converses fluently in multiple languages at noble banquets and bends tycoons to his will with a single word, Mia realizes she has chanced upon the missing young king of a European kingdom. Once his memory returns, she will no longer be his contractual wife—but a criminal accused of abducting a monarch. The royal court brands her a marriage swindler, and political assassins close in. Mia finally sees the truth: she can either be erased as a hidden secret, or step forward and place the truth upon the throne herself.
