Chapter 1

The Erenell Empire wants Ellio Ramos dead, so his only chance of survival is to run to the edge of the continent, where a small, primitive village of rumored barbarians reside. The village was once ruled by the empire until a little over a decade ago, when a twelve year old girl-Aurora Kevaia-turned the entire village against the empire and singlehandedly revolutionized Courtship Season. After Ellio manages to win Aurora's heart in a deadly battle of passion and strength, the two must step out of their comfort zones in order to learn how to live with each other, overcome their haunting pasts, and maybe fall in love.
