A princess promised to her enemy. A mercenary haunted by betrayal. Kingdoms on the verge of war.

 

Lyra never wanted the life chosen for her. Caged by duty and bound by tradition, she’s spent years pushing against the future others decided she should accept—until a political alliance forces her toward the storm-ravaged kingdom she was raised to fear. But before she can be bound to a husband she doesn’t want, a Stormlander abducts her from the road and drags her deep into enemy territory.

 

She should hate him. She tries to. Yet with every mile, every clash, every unexpected moment of gentleness, Lyra feels the foundations of her world shift. Loving him could destroy everything she’s sworn to protect, but turning from him could cost far more than her heart.

 

As war looms and her people’s survival hangs in the balance, Lyra must choose between the man she’s come to trust… and the kingdom she was born to save.
