When an unprecedented visit from the Supreme Elven King, Kirion, disrupts elven princess Miriel's usual plans during the winter solstice, rumors of a courtship are the least of her worries when a single touch by the powerful king could reveal a secret she and her family have desperately kept for over a hundred years. However, King Kirion has a few revelations of his own that could also change Miriel's life forever.
