Chapter One

Dean's father died to protect the King on a pilgrimage to receive the Goddess's blessing. Now Dean hears his father's voice in his dreams, calling him to his grave. The only way up is to pledge himself to the King, for the rest of his life.
Castiel rules, his kingdom rent in half by a civil war his uncle started, and resents the need for a Lionheart. But the pilgrimage cannot be done without one.
With whisperings of raids and gathering forces at the border of his split kingdom, and his own power dwindling, Castiel is pulled in all directions.
Receiving the Goddess's blessing is more important now than it ever was.
