When her kingdom is forced to send a royal bride to the brutal North, Elara selflessly takes her younger sister's place, unaware that her mother and sister orchestrated the exile to steal her throne. Ten years later, Elara returns as a widowed commoner, only to be met with scorn and betrayal by the family she saved. However, Vharaxes has never stopped searching for the human who saved his lineage.
