A prince who buried his heart. A princess determined to find it.
A man who believes he can’t love. A woman bold enough to prove him wrong.
August doesn’t need love. His life is full. As Leader of the Guard, he spends his days with a blade in his hands and his nights answering to no one. He has loyal friends, a place among the High King’s Select, and companionship when he wants it. What more could a prince ask for? It doesn’t matter that his parents despise him or that his brother barely speaks to him.
Amaris is done living the life her father planned for her. She wants freedom and the right to choose her own future. What she would never choose is a man who is arrogant, infuriating, and far too sure of himself. It doesn’t matter that he’s broad-shouldered and devastatingly handsome, or that being near him makes her heart race just a little. She isn’t searching for forever. She’s running from it.
Fated to find each other. Fighting for their future.
