<p><strong>A kingdom in danger. A marriage born of duty. A love neither expected.</strong></p><p></p><p>Eadlyn's homeland teeters on the brink of ruin. After years under her father's violent indulgent rule Essix is fractured and vulnerable-an easy target for enemy kingdoms. With her younger brother newly crowned and the throne unsteady Eadlyn offers the only thing she has: herself.</p><p></p><p>A marriage alliance with the fierce Nords may be Essix's last hope for survival. But it means leaving behind everything she's ever known and placing her fate in the hands of a people known for their brutality. Still Eadlyn is willing to risk it all and trust the God she's always believed in to protect her and her country.</p><p></p><p>Aevar has already had and lost his chance at love. Now marrying the Essian princess is simply a duty one that will secure peace and strengthen both their peoples. What he won't do is open his heart again. Determined to keep his distance he focuses only on keeping her safe from those who oppose their fragile alliance.</p><p></p><p>But as the bond between them grows and dangers gather old wounds begin to heal. Together they must learn to trust not just each other but the providence of a God greater than any kingdom.</p><p></p><p><em>Norse-inspired romantasy that is faith-filled and no-spice.</em></p>
