In the ironbound kingdom of Kryndal, honour is measured in blood and obedience is mistaken for virtue.
Ser Alaric Vayne has lived his life correctly.
He kneels when commanded.
He kills when ordered.
He has never laughed. Never loved. Never questioned the weight of the blade in his hands.
Until he meets Elion Fenn-a jolly, sly enemy spy who slips through walls and hearts alike, laughing in the face of death, carrying warmth into places it does not belong.
Their love is forbidden.
Their bond is treason.
And in a world where kings never touch swords and knights die for their silence, love is the most dangerous act of all.
This is a story about duty that devours men,
about innocence crushed beneath power,
about a sunshine that dared to kiss stone-
-and paid the price.
