Cassian Moreau, heir to a vast European empire, dismissed the prophecies of a Romani seer predicting heartache. He scoffed at the notion, secure in his privileged world. Years later, clutching the ashes of his wife, Elara, he understands the prophecy's cruel truth. Elara, once a naive artist, believed in love's simple joy. But Cassian's ambition shattered her ideals, leading to a wrongful imprisonment. As Elara lay dying, betrayed and alone, Cassian reveled in a fleeting affair. Reborn from the ashes of despair, Elara finds herself in a world of opulent protectors and fervent admirers: a benevolent philanthropist, a charismatic film star, and a soulful musician. But just as she begins to heal, Cassian reappears, desperate to reclaim what he destroyed, declaring, "She belongs to me!" A tale of betrayal, redemption, and the enduring power of the human spirit, set against the backdrop of European high society.
