Princess Adira never wanted to have a royal title, and she most certainly never wanted all the pressure that came with it. She just wanted to have the freedom to be herself. To practice sword fighting for fun, and to be with the one she loved, Theo. But of course, that was something that could never happen. Theo was just a guard, someone her father would never allow her to marry.
Adira thought that being forbidden to marry Theo would be the worst thing to happen to her. But oh, how wrong she was. In the blink of an eye, her world is turned upside down. She is kidnapped by an embittered mercenary with a thirst for revenge and his peculiar sidekick, taken away from her home and used as leverage for the man's wishes.
All is dark and she sees no hope. But she is not alone.
