#The touch of Hades

      Hi guys! I am currently participating in this month's WPC under the Female Lead category: Contract Marriage with my entry, "The Heartless Duke's Bride" It would mean the world to me if you guys could add the story to your library, leave a review and comment your thoughts on it. https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-heartless-duke's-bride_27107654105418705
      SYNOPSIS:

      Princess Dione of the Salian Empire once basked in the love of her father, the Emperor. However, her world shatters when her elder brother claims the throne and callously auctions her off to a repulsive suitor, twice her age. Desperate to escape this dreadful fate, she seeks refuge in an unthinkable alliance—a marriage contract with the infamous Heartless Duke of the North, a man feared even by her tyrannical brother.

      Azriel Devland, the revered War God of the Empire, returns victorious from the battlefield, only to face the Emperor's machinations to wed him to Princess Valerie, his longtime admirer. Cunningly, he employs the aid of the Holy Church to secure a sacred marriage contract, but destiny has an unexpected twist in store. The prophesied bride destined for Azriel turns out to be none other than Princess Dione, the one woman who has always held a special place in his heart.

      Despite her resistance to the Heartless Duke and the enigmatic web of secrets that surround him, Princess Dione finds herself bound by the unbreakable ties of the divine contract—a bond punishable by death if violated. As their intertwined past comes to light and their connection deepens, they realize that the wrath of the Gods might be the least of their worries.

      Will they succumb to the manipulations of the past, or will their love prove resilient enough to triumph over fate itself?
