A world on the brink of war
A tyrannical king
A powerful warlord with a dark gift
A princess bartered to save her brother’s life

When the Kingdom of Solhaven comes under siege by a deadly enemy, Princess Soleena finds herself bartered by her brother, the King, to the invading warlord in order to keep the peace between nations and ensure her family's survival.
 
Forcefully wed to the invading warlord - a cold man with dark and deadly powers - in a match she never wanted, Soleena begins to experience life from behind enemy lines: where gender does not determine your worth, where the colour of your skin brings neither praise nor ridicule, and where anyone can freely love whomever they choose.
 
But though she finds friendship among the ranks of the Warlord’s inner circle, Soleena’s heart aches for what she cannot have. For her sisters, trapped under her brother's tyrannical rule. For freedom from the bargain she was sold into. And for the love of the warlord with a heart of stone.
