Quick Introduction - Author's Note

Every five years, the scepter is crafted.

Every five years, the Vault is opened, and the savings go wherever the royals deem fit.

Karis Griffin and Alana Campbell are both members of the queen's guard, tasked with serving and protecting the royal family. This year, as the Vault ceremony grows near and the queen reveals her plans for the money inside, a line is drawn between the former pair of best friends. Karis's past leads him to trust, and Alana's leads her to doubt. Both of them are trying to make the other see things from their point of view.

Celebration turns to chaos. Friends turn to enemies. Love turns to war. Will the Vault ceremony go off without a hitch, or will someone's ulterior motives get in the way?
