She wakes up on a ship headed for Adavia, surrounded by other young women with no clear memories of her former life. Her companions tell her she is a maid named Eyla, turning her disguise into her new reality. Before reaching Adavia it is revealed that the women were taken as brides for the men aboard. Elara, now Eyla, finds herself married to a young merchant and sailor named Noah Marchand.
Noah Marchand expected to return from his journey across the sea with new stories and a few foreign trinkets, he never expected to return home with a wife. Noah has been striving to rebuild the family name tarnished by his misspent youth and a strategic marriage seemed like the perfect solution. Instead, he finds himself married to a woman from a land most of his peers consider savage.
This arrangement is far from what either ever expected in their lives, but it could prove to be exactly what they needed.
