A healer. A knight. A kingdom on the edge of ruin.
Princess Wynessa has always been the quiet one, kind-hearted, obedient, hidden beneath the weight of duty. However, when war looms and peace must be brokered through marriage, she is forced to leave behind everything she knows and journey across a fractured realm to wed a prince she's never met.
Assigned to protect her is Erindor of the Guard: a brooding, battle-hardened knight with shadows in his past and walls around his heart. As danger stalks their every step, from cursed forests to mercenary ambushes, an unlikely bond begins to spark between them. One of firelight glances, whispered truths, and feelings neither of them is ready to name.
But the deeper they travel, the more secrets rise to the surface about the gods, about forbidden magic, and about who Wynessa truly is. And when her quiet flame begins to burn too brightly, it could unravel everything.
Including her heart.
