SORCHA: I've fought tooth and nail to enter the ranks of knighthood. I deserve to be there. But as a princess, the only place I'm allowed is the training yard. That is until our enemy, Grand Clarak Zarios of Valcor, shows up with an opportunity to save the entire nation from someone in his court trying to dethrone him. It's just what I need to prove my worth. The catch . . . I need to pretend to be his intended mate to do it. It begins to seem impossible, especially with new court rules to follow and a grumpy minotaur as a partner. But this is my one chance, and I won't let anything stand in my way. ZARIOS: Everyday it feels as if all I'm doing is putting out fires. Between push back from my own people to traitors in my kingdom, it feels as though everyone is keen to see me fall. It feels hopeless until I meet Sorcha Yulean, second in line for the throne. With her by my side, fake intended or not, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is my last chance to save my kingdom, and my crown, nothing can get in the way. Not even my budding feelings for the princess. Contains mature themes.
