A queen, driven by her desire to rule, is seeking to gain control of the kingdom her father once tried to take. However, her father’s attempts to take the kingdom by force proved futile. The people rallied and defended their home mightily. Now the young queen must find a new way to gain the power of the throne.

Many rumors had spread that the former king and queen had sent off their child after birth to keep him safe. The heir to the throne of Agder, this young man grew up working on a farm, his true identity kept secret from him. But the queen of Orsworn has found him, and she sends a team to retrieve him.

She plans to marry him, whether or not he wants it, and have him take his throne in Agder. From there the two countries will form an alliance, giving her the chance to rule them both. But is that all it’s for? Will she end up loving him, or is her love for power too strong?

And what of the heir? How will he respond to all this? Sure the queen had been playing nice, but can he really marry and love someone who captured him and forced the marriage? Or will he try to escape her?
