Everyone expected the daughter of Nesta Archeron and Cassian to choose a warrior worthy of her name. No one expected the mountain of an Illyrian male who blushes when she smiles, rescues injured birds between training sessions, and looks at her as though she hung every star over Velaris. One trip to the Commander Trials changes everything. Because sometimes fate doesn’t send you the fiercest warrior. Sometimes… It sends you the gentlest one.
