To save the one he loves, Julgen would sacrifice everything—his name, his future, even his true self. Born into an esteemed aristocratic family, the second son Julgen undertakes a dangerous masquerade, cross-dressing to marry his beloved Namgald and infiltrate the infamous ranks of Helmut’s heretical movement. His mission is clear: dismantle the free-thinking leader Helmut from within. But the closer Julgen gets, the more the lines blur. He came to destroy a monster, yet finds himself captivated by Helmut's radical humanity and defiant atheism, ideals that resonate with a freedom Julgen never knew possible. As his loyalties fracture and his heart becomes tangled in a web of conflicting desires, Julgen must decide: will he fulfill his duty, or embrace the dangerous truth that might shatter his world and redefine everything he thought he knew about love, faith, and freedom itself?
