An alliance forged through marriage. The cost? One Man's dream.
Tristan dreams of the day he'll succeed his father as the next Warlord of Markaytia. Elves-creatures famous for their darker passions-approach the Markaytian king with an offer he can't refuse: an alliance with the Elves for the one Tristan Kanes.
Tristan is forced to give up his dream.
He's not thrilled, but Tristan is a man of duty above all else. What choice does he have? He cannot refuse the king or Markaytia. He begrudgingly comes to terms with the arranged marriage. Is he a tad sour about it? Yes, but he'll get over it.
Probably.
Maybe it won't be so bad. Elves have cool weapons, maybe he'll get one?
Corrik bans him from cool weapons.
Corrik's seen Tristan's gruesome death on the point of a sword in a prophetic vision. He bans Tristan from picking up a sword ever again. Tristan wants to accept the marriage with grace to make his people proud, but he resents Corrik for his remorseless attitude over his life's work.
Facing the Ice Prince and himself.
Tristan's conflict follows him on the journey to the mysterious Elven land of Mortouge. He hates Corrik for taking him from the life he loved, boy does he, but his new Elven husband is an enigma and he's captivated. He sets Tristan's blood on fire and freezes it at the same time. Corrik unravels Tristan's true nature and despite his best efforts, Tristan falls for his ice prince.
But Corrik won't bend.
Can these two find a suitable compromise? Or will Tristan's resentment and Corrik's arrogance ruin forever their chance at love?
