As the Kingdom of Alekka teeters on the edge of chaos, old rivalries flare and a vengeful dreamer schemes from the shadows…
Hidden away in a remote village with her two young children, Alys de Sant is unaware of the danger creeping closer. Winters have been harsh, and her husband’s violence has grown unbearable. Fearing for her life, she quietly stockpiles supplies, preparing for the escape she knows she must make—soon.
Reinar Vilander, guardian of the fortress that commands the bridge to Alekka’s capital, knows all too well how fragile the king’s hold on power has become. Seeking funds to strengthen his defenses, he sets out to sea in search of slaves to sell—but fate delivers Alys instead, a mysterious woman carrying a secret so perilous, it could cost her life if revealed.
As the king’s enemies tighten their grip and those she loves come under threat, Alys must summon the courage to face her past. And when the choice comes to share her secret to help Reinar, will she risk everything… and will he ever let her go?
