The ancient city of Fallhollow has weathered countless wars, standing resilient as a beacon of hope in a desolate land. At the helm of it all is Trae Thyne, the King's Commander and leader of the Ivrichor army. Despite his aversion to their Canidae neighbours, he's compelled to consider a peace treaty as the Falconry invasion threatens Fallhollow's walls and its people. Battling the Falcons becomes imperative, even if it means dealing with the complexities of a potential alliance and unexpected feelings for the Princess's Taymullah. For Cristen Chambers, her dream was simple: to serve the Princess. Putting herself through school, she thought securing a place in the royal palace would allow her to escape her family's secrets. However, she didn't anticipate the King's Commander taking an interest in her. Will he unravel the truths she's hidden? As they navigate their own complexities and enlist the help of others, Trae and Cristen must set aside differences to thwart the Falconry invasion and safeguard their beloved city.
