A battle-scarred knight who dreams of peace. A secret princess who knows the Empire’s darkest truths. And a marriage written in blood and betrayal.
After seven years of brutal war, Remin of Andelin has become the Empire’s greatest hero—and its most feared general. His reward may be more dangerous than any war. After a campaign he was never meant to survive, his prize is a ravaged duchy and the hand of a princess no one’s ever heard of.
Princess Ophele Agnephus has spent her life in an exile prison, the illegitimate child of the divine Emperor and a disgrace to the sacred stars. She never asked to be wed to a brutal conqueror, or to leave behind the only home she’s ever known for a cottage on a dangerous frontier. Trapped by her father’s bloody legacy, she can only choose whether she will protect secrets that could shatter the Empire—or step out of the shadows she’s lived in all her life.
Remin wants no crown, no glory. Only a home for his knights, and a future built on something better than vengeance. But in the Andelin valley, where devils stalk through the ruins of bloody conquest, even peace is a battle.
