Lea Severine, captured and tortured, has sworn herself to the protection of her kingdom and its people. But that doesn't mean she isn't still a woman with a woman's desires and she has her eyes set on a man that, by all rights, should be her mortal enemy. However, her when her love can't be returned fully, how can she choose between him and her vows?

Emilien Cesaire, captured and tortured, has sworn himself to the protection of his kingdom and its people. Even if they turn their back on him. His vows to the crown are binding. When he's offered the love of a woman that both excites and worries him, how can he accept it knowing that to do so would be to be the traitor everyone brands him as?

Secrets are exposed, enemies are redeemed, and the tides begin to turn in a war that threatens to rip them apart, even as it brought them together.
