The word “Astena” means forgotten. The word “Astena” means abandoned.
The word “Astena” means neglected. The word “Astena” means erased.

That is what he is. That is what he has.

Found locked in a cell, the young amnesiac known only as Astena is then rescued and adopted by a prominent family. The family in question is abusive and distant, and forces him into an arranged marriage with another of higher standing for their young heir.
Joren Tethys is a young rising star of the nation, and detests the idea of forced relationships. Raised by authoritative, loveless parents, he finds comfort in the companionship of Dresden although their love is chaotic. Disparagingly, he is also contractually bound to Astena—Dresden’s adopted brother.

Frustrated, Joren vents his frustration on Astena the only way he knows how: by ignoring the blatant abuse that Astena suffers.
There's one unsettling problem: he knows Astena; but he has no memory of from where, or why.

Things are made even more complicated when Joren is enrolled in the same elite academy where both Astena and Dresden attend, with the deadline for the engagement to begin the moment they graduate—that means 5 years from now, Joren and Astena will be married, and then divorced once Joren secures his inheritance. With that in mind, Joren must begrudingly work together with Astena to survive until then. But, when strange occurrences begin happening and unexplained events begin spiraling out of control, Joren realizes that sinister forces are at play here, and Astena is the key.

Can Joren solve the mystery that is Astena before it is too late? Or, will the malevolent forces that pervade destroy them both?
