War is threatening King Micah’s southern border and his council continues to push him to choose a bride, reminding him all too often of his lack of an heir. He finds himself hesitating as he remembers a young woman with defiance in her eyes and the friendship that’s grown between them.
Rose and King Micah find themselves in a dangerous position when the new threat destroying the country and the fighting in the south appear connected. They don’t know where he came from, how to fight his magic, or what his plan is. All they know is they must stop him before he can destroy everything they hold dear.
