Torn from her husband Reid's arms and dragged back to her homeland in chains, Vaasalisa Kozár is no longer a ruler, but a political pawn. Now under the control of Ozik--a cunning Zetyr witch with a stranglehold on her magic--she faces annulment, forced betrothal, and a kingdom that no longer feels like her own. As Ozik's machinations aim to install himself as the true power behind the Asteryan throne, Vaasa is forced to take part in his game. Meanwhile, across the continent, Reid is done playing politics. But waging war is never simple, and a soldier's fury cannot stand up against Icruria's bureaucracy. With allies fading and time slipping away, Reid may have no choice but to infiltrate Asterya on his own to find the woman he loves and bring her home. But one question lingers in the back of his mind: Once they are reunited, will Vaasa stay?Brief description: By day, Rebecca Robinson works as a high school administrator.
