Winning his heart could cost me everything.

War is a way of life for the elves, but there is no war so bitter as a war fought between father and son. If I'm to have any chance of victory against my father, I need as many allies as I can find.

None proves as frustrating—or alluring—as Prince Elindir. My human prince has a fire in him that threatens to burn me to ash every time we're near.

And I'm determined to make him mine.

Yet, I must marry another. Without the support of the formidable Wolfheart clan, I see no path to victory, and that alliance hinges on a strategic political marriage.

If Elindir and I are discovered, I could lose the allies I desperately need—and both of us could pay with our lives.

I've sacrificed everything to have this chance at victory, and now I must make an impossible choice between my kingdom and my heart.
