A millennia old vision foretold their bond. Their parents arrange their marriage to seal an alliance between two dying, warring planets. Lies and political intrigue could cause both to crumble. Cendis is a planet of fire and Avala, a planet of ice. Both in a tenuous truce since the gods stripped them of their gifts after the planets went to war with each other. Eighteen years ago, while plotting to break the truce, the king and fifteen advisors on both planets suddenly drop dead on both planets. Sixteen special children with old gifts and new gifts are born on both Cendis and Avala and trained in secret. The secret factions rest all their hopes on the alliance and bringing everyone to the new paradise planet on eighteen year old Elan, the Cendian prince, and Isolde, the Avalian Princess’s shoulders. Isolde leaves for Cendis disguised as a Cendian slave not wanting any part of meeting Elan and bonding with him. When certain lies come to light, their bond is already in jeopardy. When a traitor in the Cendian faction is revealed, both their lives are in danger.
