Description
Duty demands sacrifice. Love demands everything.
When enemy forces trap Selida Coralglass, seasoned Priestess of Serpents, in Wyvernsvow Keep, she finds herself confined with the one man who threatens her secret plans: Ser Kahldar Whitepeak, the chaste knight whose integrity makes her wistful for impossible things. As the siege intensifies, they must negotiate an unlikely peace to save everyone they love. But the closer they become, the harder it is to ignore the desire that has long crackled between them—and surrender means forsaking everything they've sworn to be.
