He hired countless teachers, scholars, and palace ladies to train her into the one perfect woman of her time.

Mateus promised Alexandra of true freedom, but where is freedom when she is in another man's harem and can only look at the one she loves from afar?

Not willing to endure this agony, Alexandra promises herself that one day, she will free both of them from their bird cages.
