Ch. 01 · The story

What it's about

Spoiler level: Minor — for the synopsis & review below

Roxanna mourned Curtis for years, believing her cruel father had caused her first love's death. When her own noble household falls, she discovers that Curtis survived—and has returned as the warrior responsible for its destruction. The boy she remembers now directs his anger toward her family's crimes. Roxanna retreats to a quiet life in a nunnery, but their eventual reunion brings unfinished vengeance back into focus, forcing her to confront a man whose affection has become inseparable from resentment.

Ch. 02 · Our verdict

My take

Roxanna becoming the target of a wrong she did not commit gives the reunion its painful emotional center. The polished character art keeps remembered tenderness close to present hostility, making affection difficult to separate from resentment. It works better as romantic melodrama than satisfying payback, although Curtis's cruelty can overwhelm the pleasure of seeing what remains of their earlier bond.

— Dawna A.

✓ Read it if…

There is a compelling emotional question beneath every reunion: how much of the person Roxanna loved remains inside the man hurting her now? The story lets affection, guilt, and anger pull against one another, making even a seemingly gentle exchange difficult to take at face value.

! Skip it if…

Curtis redirects revenge toward Roxanna despite her father's responsibility, so the central relationship can feel punishing rather than romantic. Threats and emotional cruelty are part of the appeal, not incidental obstacles; readers wanting quick accountability or a consistently reassuring partner may struggle.
