Valedorn and Elaria have long maintained peaceful relations, until King Rowan of Valedorn invades Elaria and forces a political marriage with its princess to secure peace. Caelan, the 27-year-old son of a blacksmith and now Rowan’s most trusted commander, is ordered to escort the princess to Valedorn. Ten years earlier, Caelan met a mysterious girl beside a river when they were 12. They spent 5 years secretly meeting and gradually fell in love, never realizing who the other truly was. When a rebellion erupted in Valedorn at 17, she was urgently returned to Elaria and disappeared without saying goodbye. Caelan believed she had abandoned him. Now, 10 years later, he discovers that the princess he has been ordered to escort—and the woman his king intends to marry—is the very girl he never stopped searching for. 2.
