Aurora of Willowvale and Sebastian of Foxhaven were once best friends, each other's first love until war tore their kingdoms apart and he vanished from her life without a word. Now, eleven years later, they stand on opposite sides of a growing conflict, bound by duty, betrayal, and a past neither has forgotten. When fate brings them back together, old feelings reignite, but trust is fragile, and peace feels impossible. As war looms and dangerous truths begin to surface, Aurora and Sebastian must choose between loyalty to their kingdoms...or a love that could change everything. But same secrets were never meant to be uncovered. And choosing each other may cost them more than they're prepared to lose.
