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.

The Arrival of Guests
The streets of Zephyros were alive with jubilation. Banners of crimson and gold fluttered in the breeze as the were hung from every window and balcony.
Children darted through the crowds, their laughter and song filled the air.
Some children waved from rooftops and doorways, their small hands eager to greet the grand carriages rolling through the stone streets.
They were in high spirits, their faces lit with joy. Tomorrow would be a day of celebration, one of the most significant the kingdom had seen in years: the royal wedding of Prince Kaelix of Zephyros and Prince Eirik of Valeidio.
