Princess Asena is sent across the sea to secure an alliance that could protect Morwen for years to come after an attempt on her life forces her from home.
When she arrives in Alna, she expects political alliances, an unwanted engagement, and a future she never chose. She doesn't expect a kind prince who understands the weight of a crown, or the enemy who followed her across the sea determined to finish what they started.
Caspian has spent years protecting the princess, even if it means burying everything he feels for her. Sworn to duty, he knows crossing the line would cost them both everything. But as Asena grows closer to the prince she's destined to marry, and the threat against her grows, protecting her becomes far more complicated than either of them expected.
Can the pair uncover who's hunting the future queen before it's too late, or will the journey meant to save Asena become the one that destroys everything they're fighting for?
