In the continent of Eryndor, peace is not natural. Between Valedria and Dravaryn, peace is maintained through a fragile treaty—and an arranged marriage between their heirs. The Valedrian princess—Y/N—raised in a southern court of control, is bound to a political duty. Prince Kael Dravaryn, heir to a harsh northern kingdom built on strength and truth, arrives every summer expecting manipulation and weakness. This summer is different: it is the last before they come of age. And one thing is clear: they hate each other. Neither of them expects the other to challenge that belief.
