What if you had to forget everything you ever knew about the world to save your family from ruin?

A dangerous realm. A stolen princess. The dream of a merchant's daughter.

A war forced the Kayei and the humans apart and a peace treaty was granted, but that does not stop them from finding ways to infiltrate, so when the Princess goes missing, The King believes it to be the nastiest of the Kayei.

To be a King's Guard, that was all Farren wanted. She trained and she bled for the opportunity, but what she did not expect was the King demanding her help.

After a controversial fight, Farren is put on the King's radar and is suddenly his most expendable asset, alongside a guard plagued by memories of the magical realm.

When Farren and Rorke finally cross into the Realm, too many obstacles stand in their way and she has to decide what is more important: the Princess or her survival. Torn between her future and a man who has squeezed his way into her heart, Farren begins to fight with everything she has, competing in challenges she never signed up for, ones that reveal a hidden power she never wanted—a power linked deep to a past nobody can tell her about.

And the two humans might find that working together is their only hope...and that it will lead them closer to each other.
