He's a king fighting battles no one can see. She's a queen torn between duty and love. Now, their love must withstand its greatest trial.
As Haldonia begins to rebuild, Tristan and Amelia should be embracing the promise of a new chapter. But as they prepare for the arrival of their first child, Tristan finds himself trapped in a war of his own. Determined to be the strong, unshakable ruler his people need, he hides his pain behind duty-unaware that with every step he takes to protect Amelia, he's pushing her further away.
Amelia has spent her life preparing to be queen, but nothing could prepare her for watching the man she loves slip through her fingers. Seeking comfort in her growing bond with the people of Haldonia, she throws herself into her role, even as the distance between her and Tristan deepens. But when his struggles threaten to consume him, Amelia is forced to make an impossible choice: stand by and let him face his demons alone, or risk everything to bring him back to her.
With their marriage hanging by a thread and the future of their family in jeopardy, Tristan and Amelia stand at a crossroads-fight for each other or watch everything they've built fall apart. Love once made them unstoppable, but can it mend what's breaking, or will the fractures between them become too deep to heal
