'In the third book of Nicole Warner's Three Times Blessed Series, Anais and Eadred's intriguing story continues. With grave doubts cast on their relationship, they must rise above damaging accusations of treason, protecting themselves from exposure even as the rift between King Edmund and his younger cousin widens. With nowhere safe to turn, they both make irrevocable choices. One runs from destiny. The other embraces danger on every level.

'Anais, chafing under the restrictive role of queen and wife, sets herself to learning every trick of Warren's trade but, as she makes risky forays into Sidem, she uncovers fresh perils; ones that are almost her undoing.

'Eadred, escaping from the awful carnage in Arnil Wale, enlists as a warden, turning his back on his heritage and title. Assuming an identity as far from royal life as he can imagine, he soon discovers his past isn't so easily forgotten.

'Despite attempts to keep their distance, events conspire to reunite them, forcing them to acknowledge just how many rules they're willing to break to be together.

'As an old enemy returns, new gifts emerge within them, powerful enough to shake the world to its roots.'  (Publication summary)
