He wanted the truth. He found it in her.
She wanted freedom. She found it with him.
In the midst of a battlefield, when hope seemed lost in the snow, they found what they were searching for in a union bound for tragedy.
This is a novel, a prequel of sorts, that runs alongside my main series, Defying Equilibrium. If you haven't read Defying Equilibrium you can still enjoy this story, but if you want the full picture I would recommend it. This story explores the real story behind the Tale of Raphael and Desdemona, which you can find in the Lore Compendium (also on my profile).
But let me say one thing – this is a story of power, love, betrayal and war. Do not expect a happy end.
