Victory was theirs. At least for a little while… Ceana MacRae and Macrath Mor fought valiantly to win their temporary titles as Prince and Princess of Sìtheil during the bloody war games. A burgeoning love, countless hopes and dreams for the future of Scotland fill the daytime hours, and passion holds them at twilight. Just married and given only five years to rule before the next set of savage games begins, Ceana and Macrath have vowed to take down the royal council in charge of the games, but before they can move ahead, they have to first conquer their enemies—and their own personal demons. With the ghosts of their pasts chasing them and their adversaries stopping at nothing to see them destroyed, ruling Sìtheil will prove to be a challenge not only for their reign, but also for their love.

After battling for their lives in the Highland War Games, Ceana MacRae and Macrath Mor were married and named Prince and Princess of Sìtheil. But even after accepting their crowns, they are not out of the woods. Danger lurks at every turn. They've vowed to take down the mighty and treacherous council only to unearth an even deadlier The Corridor of the Ancients, where their enemy Lady Beatrice has kept a mysterious prisoner and tortured countless victims. Four armies have converged upon their castle and it would seem that they not only have to fight the royal council but hordes more. They must prove their worth to their king, thwart the many plots set up against them and see their enemies destroyed. With their past demons still chasing them and their adversaries stopping at nothing to see them crushed, the final battle for Sìtheil will prove to be a challenge not only for their reign, but also for their love.
