When Tashi, the rigidly formal sixteen-year-old Fourth Crown Princess of the Blue Crescent Islands, reluctantly weds roguish eighteen-year-old Prince Ramil of Gerfal, their religious, cultural, and personal differences threaten to end their political alliance and put both countries at the mercy of a fearsome warlord.

Flame-haired Thorn is taken as a child into the blood-thirsty service of the priests of Hollin. Her life looks set for a quick death as she has no skills to save her. Then chance intervenes and she is made prisoner in Brigard and brought before King Ramil's son, Lagan for judgement. What is Lagan to make of the bitter girl standing before him? Little does he know that his path is now bound with hers. Through mountains, over seas, and on the battlefield, their choices will decide the destiny of three nations. It is just a shame then that Thorn hates him and he distrusts her. What could go wrong?
