Vivian Hastings was never meant to wear a crown. The illegitimate daughter of Duke Hastings, she is traded to the North in a marriage meant to end generations of war. Her husband? Killian, the king's bastard son. A prince carved from winter and silence. But peace between kingdoms often demands sacrifice. They begin their marriage as strangers bound by duty, cold and wary of the person they were once meant to defeat. Yet the more time they spend together, the more the lines between enemy and ally begin to blur. Because surviving court politics, dangerous alliances, and the expectations of two kingdoms is difficult enough. Doing it beside the one person you were raised to distrust might prove even harder. Especially when hate slowly begins to look a lot like something else.
