Seventeen-year-old Adria Catarr is a carefree, stubborn girl with an insatiable sweet tooth. When she stumbles into Lando Carde, the incognito prince, during the annual Midsummer Festival and mistakes his charm for love at first sight, her naive heart is quickly broken. Kaidan Sordell, a childhood friend, is there to pick up the pieces and help Adria mend her wounds. His affection for her has gone unnoticed for so long that he's not sure if he'll ever have the nerve to tell her how he truly feels. With the last summer before adulthood upon them, Adria and Kaidan decide to seek out the Temple of the Red Mare. The legendary tales of it revealing a heart's truest desire is too tempting for lovelorn Adria to pass up. Will she realize, though, that what she's looking for has been trekking beside her all along?"
