Before he became the hero of his own love story, Riftan Calypse was a struggling peasant boy who grew up in misery. His only joy was observing kind Maximilian (Maxi), the beautiful eldest daughter of the Croyso family, from a distance. Determined to make something more of his life, Riftan escapes this horrible existence by running away to work as a mercenary. Riftan’s adventures soon make him a legend and he is recruited as a member of the formidable Remdragon Knights. But when the Red Dragon Sektor threatens the kingdom, Riftan will be forced to face dangers greater than he has ever known both on and off the battlefield…in a surprise betrothal to Maxi, the girl he once longed for from afar. Can a forgotten childhood love bloom into something more between a hardened warrior and a frightened girl? Or will the war for Maxi’s heart be the one thing Riftan can’t win?
