In the wealthy kingdom of Valedorn, Princess Elyra has spent her life protected behind palace walls while war rages beyond them. After an assassination attempt, her overprotective father assigns his most trusted knight, Sir Rowan, to guard her at all times. But Rowan carries a dangerous secret: the kingdom’s greatest war hero is actually Renna Vale, a woman who disguised herself as a man to survive in the military. As tensions rise between neighboring nations and hidden truths about Valedorn begin to surface, Elyra and Renna are forced to question everything they were taught about loyalty, duty, and the empire they serve.
