War has been avoided, but at what cost?
To keep their countries out of war, Markus Whitlock & Amabel Rigdon have been forced to wed. Entering into an unsteady agreement to keep their parents and countries happy, these two rarely spend time together unless forced into it. Born and raised in clashing ideologies, will they stop fighting long enough to begin working together? Will they be able to play political games to benefit their families and countries until they can manage their freedom?
Basial Rigdon is free from his torture at the hands of Namber, but not free from the torture his mind has in store. Between the trauma of absorbing emotion from his army, traumatic stress from being a captured prisoner, and the loneliness of losing his connection to Taltos, the soul of his sword, he is teetering on an edge few will ever understand.
Fazune Mennon has never had control of her life, but she has plans. As an enchanter under contract to King Lindre of Lensavine, she is using her position to learn more about magic and her own abilities. As such, she has found the truth behind King Barnabe Vyrn and Namber's machinations with the Lensavine King. However, will she be able to turn things to her advantage and taste real freedom? Or will her overconfidence turn allies against her and be her undoing?
Everyone is holding their breath as the political games force the hands of those involved. Can compromises be met? Will love be found, or more aptly, be allowed?
