Rhain has spent years hiding one inconvenient truth: he's hopelessly in love with Irysah.
As a newly appointed Council Leader, Rhain should be focused on protecting Elyxium from the growing threat of Zeidan. Instead, his first diplomatic mission sends him across the dominions with the very woman he's spent years trying not to fall for.
What begins as a mission to secure Domasea's aid quickly becomes far more dangerous when they find themselves hunted by Magehunters in hostile territory. Forced to rely on each other, Rhain and Irysah must navigate deadly battles, political tensions, and feelings neither can keep hidden forever.
He's been carrying a torch for her for years.
Now, with the world closing in around them, they finally have to decide whether there's room for love in the middle of a war.
A romantic fantasy novella of forbidden feelings, dangerous missions, magic, and two people discovering that sometimes the greatest risk is letting yourself be loved.
