At the twilight of the Norman dynasty, as kingdoms are torn between England and France, a man and a woman must choose between duty and desire.
Caelan of Morven, heir to a house loyal to Normandy for generations, has fought beside the French to save his people from ruin. But his loyalty is an open wound: every victory leaves behind the echo of betrayal.
Eira of Lysarne, cousin to King John of England, flees disguised as a nun after the fall of Caer Thalen Castle. She despises the Normans who, like Caelan, swore allegiance to the enemy... until he saves her.
Between them, an impossible attraction is born: he embodies everything she vowed to hate, and she everything he cannot have without endangering his bloodline.
As King Philip of France circles with suspicion and vengeance, Caelan and Eira must decide whether love can survive between two worlds at war.
For sometimes the greatest loyalty is not to a kingdom... but to the heart.
Can two souls scarred by war defy fear and the power of a king... to risk everything for love?
