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.

Xavian's gaze swept over his sons, his expression steeling with determination. "Then we won't let him manipulate us any longer. Cedric, rally the sentinels. But first, we need to send word to Zephyros. We can't face this alone."
Cedric nodded, his tone dark. "It's the least they can do. They stood by and let this happen."
Theron took a step closer to his father, his eyes fierce. "If we're going to war over this, then we need to know every detail. Where is Eirik, and how can we bring him home?"
Xavian placed a firm hand on his son's shoulder. "We'll find him, and we'll end this. I won't let Carl's ambition tear us apart. Mbuzuoria will pay."
