In fact, I can't, not when my sole responsibility is to ensure my little sister, Maeve, ascends the throne as Queen of Eastonia with a peaceful kingdom and strong allies supporting her… Which means I needs to marry--and marry well.

I serve directly beneath Commander Evander of Veiled Valley, who trusts me more than anyone in the ranks.So, when the eldest princess of Veiled Valley needs an escort–a bodyguard–during her week-long journey to Maatua, I'm tasked with the challenge of a lifetime.

Or will fight for my rightful title… the Alpha King of Emberfyll?
