Author's note

One king has set his eyes on world dominion and the other has ambitions known only to himself. They say you should fear a man with unknown intentions, he is as unpredictable as the wind, and you wouldn't want the wind tossing this way or that close to your neck.

Princess Giselle Marié and Prince Maximilian IV are tied by a marriage contract while their kings navigate a thinning alliance. How can a marriage be born on such a foundation, with peace but a string so taut, if stretched any further, it will snap? Prince Maximilian IV will do anything to preserve the alliance while Princess Giselle will do anything but that.

Whether they know it or not, both are weapons to be wielded by their fathers.
