The sorceress Narena has spent two decades haunted by the daughter stolen from her arms at birth. When a dangerous plot against the royal family emerges and her long-lost child is named as a suspect, Narena must walk the razor’s edge between justice and maternal love.

Ardis is a battle-hardened warrior with his own secrets and wants nothing to do with the sorceress who brings danger to his doorstep. Yet when past and present clash, and magic threatens to tear them apart, Narena’s fierce determination and vulnerability ignites something in him he thought long buried.

As their paths collide and passions flare, they must learn to trust and unravel a deadly web of lies, loyalty and long-buried truths. But time is running out for the future of the realm. A powerful enemy is waiting in the shadows and Narena must decide if she’s willing to sacrifice her heart, and perhaps her life, to stop them.
