Publisher's Synopsis
Great joy. Deep despair. Deeper dangers.
One thing would complete Duke Bennet d'Ardelane's happiness: a child. Soon after his beloved wife, Princess Joy, tells him she's expecting, disaster strikes.
First, an accident leaves the duke fighting for his life.
Then, sensing an opportunity, enemies of the king turn seeds of discontent into open rebellion. At the center of the discord, Ronan and Nelwina MacCallum will use any means necessary to seize the throne.
As the kingdom spirals into war, Bennet and Joy must overcome their personal sorrows and face the greater threats, or the friends, family, and people they love will die.
