The war is over, but for the empire's greatest hero, the carnage never ended. High-society balls and noble titles mean nothing to a man who has forgotten how to speak, let alone how to hold a fork. Inside a decaying manor, the air smells of wet fur and iron. The "Mad Dog" doesn't pace through gilded halls; he crouches in the shadows, baring teeth at anyone foolish enough to approach. Rehabilitation isn't just a challenge; it's a death sentence for most. The temple needs a miracle worker to clean up this mess before the hero's reputation shatters completely.

Diarin, a priestess with zero family backing and a talent for getting dumped with the temple’s trashiest jobs, is done being the "pushover" everyone walks over. She takes the assignment with one goal: secure a promotion and finally claw her way out of poverty. When she first encounters Ceres, he’s more beast than man, a feral warrior who knows only how to kill. She expects a struggle for survival, a grueling test of patience to spark a redemption she can sell to the high priest. What she doesn’t account for is the moment the growling stops and the intense feelings of obsession begin. How do you civilize a lord who looks at you like you're the only thing left in the world worth hunting?
