Henrik is a strange and cold child. Not even the titles of prince and heir can protect him from the misery of isolation. The servants avoid him and his name is tainted with infamy, tied to a crime he played no part in. The only person who ever treated him with compassion was Agostina, the daughter of an advisor to Henrik's father. Over the course of eleven years, Agostina and Henrik come to understand each other, and he sees in her a family he never had. But when Henrik makes a bargain he can't keep in an effort to save his future, he runs the risk of sacrificing the very person he was trying to protect. *Cover photo: http://wallpaperstock.net/mountain-river-in-winter-wallpapers_w35660.html Hi guys, this is my first story on here.
