"But of course, some part of her would always belong to Zayne Li." Zayne Li becomes the new Captain of the Guard for the Kingdom of Solaris. He has one mission, and that's to serve the crown he swore to protect. Princess Vireya is a curious and stubborn heir who wishes for more in a life that's been laid out. Their paths were never meant to cross beyond formality. But proximity breeds something dangerous. What begins as quiet curiosity twists into something far more forbidden, a bond neither of them can afford, yet neither can see to sever. As court politics tightened and Vireya is promised to another, Zayne is forced into an impossible choice between the crown he serves and the women he cannot let go. When that choice is made, Zayne disappears, taking the truth of who he is with him.
