Maren protects her hidden son while serving as his father's nanny.
Royal nanny Maren tends the infant heir everyone believes belongs to the queen, though the child carries Prince Elias's bloodline from the night he broke his curse. She navigates the palace bathhouse where steam and proximity threaten exposure, while jealous noblewoman Claire engineers dangers and Prince Adrian courts Maren to destabilize his brother. When Adrian commands Claire to eliminate the boy, Elias follows his son's scent through the corridors, intercepts the attack, and drags the truth into open court.
