preface

The Havens wanted a son. Someone who could carry the royal bloodline without question from The Elders. But they had Willow-the daughter they never wanted. So while her mother tried to mold her into a wife fit for a king, her father tried to will his dream true. He taught Willow to hunt and fight, to be logical and just. He built her into a woman who could rule a kingdom like a man. And even then, she was never enough.

Silas Bledsoe was the embodiment of the perfect heir to the crown. He was cold and lead with his brain without his heart ever getting in the way. Silas sought for change while respecting most of the traditions set by the long line of kings that came before him. But as they say, behind every great man is a great woman.
