Prince Brier Snow has lived in the shadow of King Snowโs exalted memory. However, his fate changes when he nears his majority and Lirendโs steward queen attempts to dethrone him by exploiting an obscure requirement in the late kingโs will: a yearlong sabbatical.
Brier travels to the desolate land of Aire to train under the Ceve guild, scorned refugees of war, including their guarded leader, Roland. Brierโs skillful master unlocks hidden potential, and what begins as a dutiful bond turns into ill-fated affection. When Brier returns to the capital, heโs carrying proof of his indiscretions with Rolandโand his condition grows more apparent with each passing day. An affair with the huntsman is a scandal Brierโs enemies can use against him, but the birth of an heir is a burden even Brier is not sure he can bear.
Roland Archer, a man with a murky past, is skeptical of the contract to train the prince but willing to do anything for the guildโs freedom. Despite his best intentions, he is smitten by Lirendโs future king. Roland has resigned himself to solitude, but fate has other plansโfor him, for Brier, and for Lirendโs oppressed subjects. Can Roland help Brier face a power-hungry queen and a country torn asunder? Either they will bring equality to a land that desperately needs it, or theyโll be thwarted by cunning enemies and an illusory curse.
