In a kingdom where alliances are carved through marriage, Princess Lysandra becomes the price of peace.
Accused, watched, and cornered by a crown that no longer protects her, she is ordered to marry the very king she fears - a union meant to silence rebellion and secure power.
There is only one problem.
Her heart already belongs to someone forbidden.
Daniel was never meant to matter - a soldier with secrets he refused to share and a past that shattered her trust when she needed him most. Now, as the palace prepares for a wedding neither of them wants, old loyalties fracture and dangerous truths surface.
With betrayal closing in and time running out, Lysandra must decide:
obey the kingdom that demands her sacrifice...
or choose the love that could destroy them both.
Some vows save kingdoms.
Others burn them to the ground.
