Betrayed. Broken. Bereft.

 

Finley has mastered control. Years of burying his emotions have made him untouchable—distant, calm, and alone. Though the realm calls him beautiful, he knows the truth: beneath the surface, he’s irreparably scarred. Love was never meant for him, and he’s long since accepted it.

 

Naia is far from the realm she once called home and feels like a stranger in Faelyn. Years ago, she believed Finley was her happily ever after, but when he left, she learned to protect her heart from the man who once owned it.

 

As unrest spreads and the realm edges closer to unraveling, Finley and Naia are forced back together when danger leaves neither of them a choice. As the walls between them begin to crumble, so does the distance they’ve fought to keep. But just as they begin to find their way back to each other, everything changes, and they’re faced with a loss that may cost them what they’ve just begun to rebuild.

 

A scarred prince. A guarded princess. A love strong enough to withstand what’s coming.
