In a world divided by elemental abilities, four kingdoms have rarely known peace. Koraine always dreamed of seeing the world, and escaping the confines of Morwen, the water kingdom she grew up in. Finally that wish was coming true. Except at a price. She was being forced to marry the prince of their rival kingdom, Abelon the kingdom of fire. Bellamy always knew one day he would become king. He spent every day trying to prove himself as prince to a father with impossible expectations. Never once had he questioned the king's demands. Until his marriage was announced. Being forced to marry a nobleman's daughter from his rival kingdom had never been a part of his plan. With war on the horizon, the pair must first survive the months of traditions leading to their impending marriage. The more they resist and try to fight the inevitable, the harder they find it to deny the feelings buried deep in their hearts.

Nyla left to face the consequences of her choices and war decides to set sail from Abelon once more. When she finds herself in the moorlands of Zetron, she doesn't expect to end up right back in the market she thought she escaped. Confined to a cell, with no one to help her, she comes face to face with someone she never expected to see again. Thalia has spent years captive to the illicit market of Zetron. She is the Warden's right hand, but what many don't see is what he holds over her head. With no options left, Thalia finds herself left with one last choice. The princess that happens to be sitting in a cell of the market. Can the pair work together long enough to put an end to the market once and for all?
