What Was Once Broken

What begins as a desperate hunt for Branxton's lost treasure quickly unravels a far greater truth. The war wasn't what it seemed. The betrayal wasn't real. And her father-the man she once idolized-wasn't the villain history made him out to be. Bound by fate and circumstance, Anastasia and Malcolm must set aside their differences to reclaim what was lost. But alliances don't mend overnight, and neither does the heart.
