Time Changes Everything (Book 3)
31 parts Complete MatureEmelia Kraven once believed that the death of her husband to the plague meant the loss of love and being loved ever again. For a time, the ambassador of Sveltheim proved otherwise, but the dream of their union together was stolen when he was forced to marry his original betrothed. Now Em wants nothing more than to close the gates forever and be left alone in obscure exile with God as her only solace.
However, with his rival out of the picture, the king of Frankia sees his chance to finally win her over. Yet, the clock is ticking. He has until the end of the year to coax open her meticulously guarded gates or else duty must win over desire. Frankia needs an heir and a ruler that cares about his people. If the king is not careful, the long peace that Frankia has been experiencing for decades will be torn asunder by others who think they can do better than him.
Em has grown to believe in the king of Frankia and his divine right to rule the country, but she doesn't believe he is sincere at all in his passion toward her. All she wants is peace, but her past and her present begin to intertwine when the king himself wants her by his side.
