Book Synopsis

A boy who can heal from any injury is destined for a lot of suffering. Kai is orphaned and illegally trapped in slavery. As someone who's lost everything, nothing is as annoying as the spoiled rich girl who walks into the path of his crossbow when he's trying to hunt. A girl with a murdered father and absent mother has a lot to deal with, especially when Cara is a princess whose uncle wants to trap her in a political marriage. But Cara is a fierce warrior determined to prove her worth as she helps her kingdom defend continuing attacks from the North. Kai's sharp weapons skills and rapid healing power make him just the fighter Cara needs. In the beautiful South Kingdom, Kai's chance encounter with the royal children leads to a very different kind of fairy tale. Life at the palace means danger, prejudice, and political intrigue. But when Kai suddenly disappears, will Cara risk everything to save Kai, and her kingdom, from the queen of the North?

"Ann Michelle Harris delivers an epic heart-pounding adventure with unforgettable characters and a dazzling tale of love and resilience."
Sharina Harris, author of Sign of the Slayer and Soul of the Stone
