She was sworn to protect the princess. He was sent to steal a weapon that could change the war.
Fiercely loyal to her kingdom and willing to die for it, Aleciana is the princess’s bodyguard and a dragon rider.
Then Prince Edric of a rival kingdom strikes.
Desperate to find a relic said to control dragons, he kidnaps the woman he believes is the princess. Instead, he steals Aleciana.
She is not the bargaining chip he wanted. He is not the monster she expected.
Trapped in enemy territory, Aleciana is forced into a dangerous lie. If Edric discovers who she really is, she loses her value. If her kingdom believes she betrayed them, she loses everything.
But hatred doesn’t stay simple, especially after the enemy prince begins to show her what her kingdom has been hiding.
Now Aleciana must decide what matters more—the crown she swore to protect… or the man she was never meant to trust.
She was trained to protect the crown. Not fall for its enemy.
