~She was a maid, a peasant of the lowest standing, yet at first sight, she melted the icy walls the lord had built around his heart~
~~~~~~
Maximilian Blackthorn, the mysteriously cold Lord of Velmoria, had a reputation for snapping the bones of miscreants who irritated him. Powerful, yet emotionally detached, he possessed an otherworldly beauty that entranced any female at first glance. However, despite his inhumanly ethereal looks, the Lord had a sheer disinterest towards love. To him love was an illusion of the heart and marriage was never something he wanted to get involved with.
Until he met her…
Evie Willows, innocent and naive of the complexities and troubles of her world, was the one thing the land of Velmoria sought the most, a faerie. Faeries were harmless, vulnerable creatures captured by greedy mystic hunters for their powers. Hiding her identity from birth, she lived a simple life among humans.
However, the day she gets discovered by mystic hunters and is on the verge of being caught, a masked stranger mysteriously shows up, saving her from being captured.
When she enters the Lord's mansion as a maid to make a wage, Evie is determined to keep her identity a secret. But what if a certain pair of eyes which knows her secret has been observing her even before she steps into his mansion?
But more than that, what if those watchful eyes belonged to none other than the Lord of Velmoria himself?
