A princess. A knight. A journey that will change everything. Wren Kenrick was never meant to inherit the throne. In a world where worshipping of the gods is forbidden, and those with magic are rounded up and executed, Wren's entire world shifts on its axis when her older brother, and heir to the empire, is assassinated. Rumors begin to swirl that the one responsible for his death is marching on their territory, using magic not seen for centuries. Under the belief that her life is at stake, the King summons the best knight in the realm to her side. Levi Callaghan is a man of duty and honor– refusing to leave her side for anything except to sleep. His life is bound to hers, an unbreakable oath and vow of service to protect her at all costs. With assassins on the streets of the capital city and the army barreling towards the castle, Wren’s time has run out. Fleeing across the continent, Wren and Levi search for allies and safety. Each stop harbors danger, fueled by the hunters that chase them and armed with a magic that Wren believed no longer existed. Forced into spending their days and nights together, their relationship blossoms from a friendship into something much more, but Levi is harboring a secret of his own—one that will change the world as they know it–—if it doesn't kill her first.
