A Royal Obligation
In a realm of four kingdoms, two were on the verge of war. Prince Eirik, the fourth prince of Valeidio, a Ferre whose beauty could rival the gods, was thrust into a marriage alliance with Prince Kaelix, the strong and proud heir of Zephyros. Both princes were determined to fight against the fate that had been forced on them. Eirik resented being used as a pawn, while Kaelix saw the alliance as a threat to his freedom. As they clashed in a battle of wills, their encounters became a constant push and pull of resistance and pride. But as the pressures of duty mounted, the lines between obligation and desire began to blur. In their struggle against their forced union, they found themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected. Would their bond become a weapon against the war or would their kingdoms' rivalries destroy any chance of love before it could take root? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

A True Zephyrian
Eirik nodded again, his heart pounding in his chest. "Yes. A female healer discovered it, she works in the royal hospital in Valeidio. They kept it a secret, fearing other kingdoms would try to go after her, but… she can save the queen. I'm sure of it."
Kaelix lifted his head from Eirik's chest, his tear-filled eyes wide with hope. "You mean… there's a chance?"
Eirik looked at him, then at the king, his expression firm. "Yes. We need her. She's the only one who can help."
For the first time in what felt like an eternity, a spark of hope flickered in the king's eyes. He looked to Eirik with gratitude and desperation. "Then we must send for her at once."
Kaelix wiped at his face, his sorrow giving way to determination. He squeezed Eirik's hand, his voice steadier now. "We have to save her."
Eirik's heart raced as he stood before King Reagan and Kaelix, having just revealed the critical piece of information.
