Elfreda became the Queen of the Marchi Kingdom through a political marriage intended to bridge the divide with her enemy nation.
But in a court that views her as nothing more than a barbarian, the only “welcome” she receives is from an assassin sent to take her life.
When she is saved from the brink of death by her husband, King Ainar, Elfreda finds herself falling helplessly in love with the man who rescued her.
Little does she know, Ainar only married the granddaughter of his sworn enemy to use her as a political pawn. Yet, despite his cold intentions, he find himself drawn to Elfreda’s pure heart and unexpected charm.
She knows he can never truly love her; he knows he must never love her. And yet, they cannot resist the magnetic pull of their forbidden desire.
Is this path of love destined for nothing but ruin?
