Vileal is an orphan with nothing but a sword, a dream, and a will forged in silence. When fate pulls him from the shadows into the heart of the royal guard, he finds himself tasked with protecting the one person he never expected-Princess Selene Argendtis.
Cold, sharp, and bound by duty, Selene hides her heart behind frost and distrust. But when chaos strikes and secrets unravel, she turns to the last person she thought she could trust: the quiet knight with storm-colored eyes.
Together, they flee a fate neither of them chose-chased by duty, danger, and a love that defies the world around them.
But love, like oaths, comes wit
