The last surviving member in her family's royal bloodline, Queen Adara needs to secure her throne from a treacherous usurper. Leaving her small kingdom, Adara seeks Christian of Acre, who was betrothed and married to her in their childhood. In her dreams, Adara remembers the beautiful boy and fantasizes about their reunion. She's remained true to her vows and has rebuffed attempts by others to have her marriage annulled. Finding Christian shatters her fantasy. Instead of a proud prince, she discovers a wounded one. Christian is a man who has no wish to honor their marriage or return home with her to rule the kingdom.

He withstood horrific torture, which scarred him physically and mentally, resulting in a man of iron will. The boy who would be prince died a long time ago in the chambers of that hell. Christian has no wish to be saddled with a wife, for that could lead to vulnerability and that is unacceptable.

Adara demands Christian return with her or at least give her an heir. Their scorching passion inflames Christian. Reluctantly, he accepts her demand and departs with Adara to reclaim their kingdom. Their survival over their vicious enemy eventually depends on fellow members of the Brotherhood joining Christian
