A lost prince. A forbidden forest. A girl who was never meant to be found. When Prince Shoto Todoroki is separated from his royal guard, he stumbles into a forest no one dares to enter and meets a warrior princess who should not exist. She is calm, powerful, and completely free in ways he has never been. Drawn back to her again and again, Shoto begins to question the life chosen for him… including the arranged marriage waiting at the palace. But the deeper he goes into the forest, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because she is not just a guardian. And loving her may cost him everything.
