After losing her family in a tragic accident, Kallessa is destitute and lives under the cruel thumb of her uncle, her dreams of independence in tatters.
But when her spoiled cousin drags her to the Axan Moon Festival in a distant kingdom, everything changes in one desperate moment.
To escape an obnoxious suitor, Kallessa claims she’s betrothed to a rugged stranger, unaware of the secrets he hides. Little does she know her impulsive lie will alter the course of her life forever.
Prince Nevander knew he should have ignored that letter from Prince Castien.
All he wants is to quietly battle his war-torn nightmares, but Kallessa shatters his resolve and ignites a longing he thought was lost. Now entangled in her reckless lie, he plays a dangerous game between deceit and duty.
Yet, he craves the warmth she brings into his frigid existence, so he takes every precious moment she offers. But when the masks fall, will she ever forgive him?
Or will the ghosts of his past destroy a future he never realized he wanted?
In a realm where truth is a dangerous game, Kallessa and Nevander must defy fate to forge their own destinies—or risk losing everything.
And true love may be the greatest risk of all.
