In the rugged Northland, far and away from an infamous demonic prison, the hunt is as sacred as it is necessary to survive. After one such great hunt, the Queen's Huntsman will find something ensnared in one of his traps that no other man would ever dare to imagine taking. His prey is worth more than half the kingdom to all and the world to him.

Smuggling the Northlands Princess out to his private lodge in the woods may carry risk as heavy as her value, but as the couple unwind before an open fire, only the moments of bliss they can feel with no other are important to see the night through.
