To deliver the shield and the sun, to raise up her who would bring peace.
The time comes for Katherine of the mountain to wed, she and her companion Lily must travel across the twelve kingdoms to meet her husband whom she has never met. She witnesses, rage, magic, madness, war, poverty and becomes changed forever.

NATHANIEL
In the realm of Greenwoods, lush rivers, towering pines, and shimmering lakes protect an ancient power bound to its prince-Nathaniel, a swordsman with emerald hair, blessed by the magic of the forests. Across the sands of the Kingdom of Yucca, where golden dunes stretch endlessly and succulents bloom beneath the blazing sun, dwells Princess Irish, healer of her people with the golden-brown hair of desert dawn. Two kingdoms divided for centuries-rivers and forests against deserts and mines-stand on the brink of war. A fragile treaty demands the marriage of Nathaniel and Irish, but the two young royals share nothing but mistrust and resentment. Nathaniel sees Irish as cold and ambitious, while Irish believes Nathaniel arrogant and untamed. Yet, destiny is not so easily denied. As they embark on a journey to unite their lands, the prince and princess discover unexpected kinship-her healing touch softening his guarded heart, his Greenwood magic shielding her fragile world. Together, they confront betrayal, ancient curses, and a prophecy that foretells that only love can end the rift between desert and forest. What begins as reluctant duty becomes a passion that neither kingdom can deny. And when peace is finally won, their love is blessed with the birth of twins-Liam and Gem, heirs of both forest and desert, destined to keep the balance their parents forged.
