Princess Alice Valerienne has spent her life becoming everything her kingdom demands-perfect, composed, and carefully controlled. The only place she ever feels free is beneath the open sky, where her bow and arrow speak louder than words. Prince Alaric Valcendre was raised to lead, not to feel. Duty has always come before desire, and silence has always been safer than emotion. Especially when it comes to the girl he is bound to marry-the one he once knew, and somehow stopped seeing. Forced into a political marriage neither of them chose, they become strangers behind the same title. Coldness settles where familiarity used to live, and silence begins to grow heavier than truth. But war is coming. And so is change. As past memories begin to resurface and unspoken feelings refuse to stay buried, both of them are forced to confront a question they never dared to ask: If love has always been there... why does it feel like they are only just beginning to find it?
