When Narissa Francis, a mere, faithful girl, witnesses her own village burned down and her kin turned to exile, she knew that the worst would never be over. Until her chance meeting with General Xoren Marcus, a young, military asset, after being abducted by a band of roaming soldiers. Within weeks of the bondage, in a bit by bit process, both characters found themselves edged by the eternal forces of faith, hope and love.
However, outside their romantic circle comes challenges and trials brought forth by the penalties of war. Persecutions ensued by higher powers within the city, killings and injustice, specially upon the emerging nationality that had rattled the whole empire, Christianity. And with brewing threats, taking the forms of heathen Celtics, political disputes and a raging temperamental Emperor, they each found themselves not only smitten by each other, but also in the violent outside world.

A story of power and passion, cruelty and devotion-where love itself may be the greatest betrayal.
