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.

Kaelix and Eirik clasped each other's hands as they made their way back down the aisle, hearts pounding with the weight of the moment.
They were no longer just princes from different kingdoms, they were now partners, not bound by just duty, but by a love that had grown in the quiet moments, away from the eyes of the world.
Today, they stood united, a beacon of hope and commitment that warmed the hearts of all who had gathered to witness their union.
As they reached the end of the aisle, Eirik's brothers were the first to approach, their faces brimming with pride and affection.
Julian rushed forward and pulled Eirik into a tight hug that was equal parts fierce and tender. Eirik felt Julian's chest rise and fell rapidly, the barely contained sobs vibrating through his frame.
