In her first life, Valoria's proud Princess Aurelia claimed Commander Alexander for herself, tearing him away from her sister Camilla. Their bitter union lasted eight miserable years. When Camilla was exiled north for a royal alliance and took her own life, war consumed the kingdom. Alexander fell while saving Aurelia, asking only to find Camilla in another life. Given a second chance before the ceremony, Aurelia steps aside and lets Camilla marry Alexander. She takes her sister's place in the deadly northern pact, becoming the bride of King Ragnar, whose former royal wives never survived. Defying every threat, Aurelia earns the feared ruler's devotion and rises beside him as his one true sovereign.
