When duty calls, our beloved Shield and Source must juggle protecting their city from mounting threats while navigating the messy complications of Lee's unexpected betrothal—a contract from her past that suddenly demands her attention. As mysterious forces circle Westsea with designs of their own, Lee finds herself caught between honoring her family's alliance and the life she's built alongside Shintaro, where their partnership has become something far more complicated than professional. With danger closing in from all sides and her fiancé refusing to release her from their agreement, Lee must decide what she's truly willing to fight for. It's a delicious blend of high-stakes fantasy adventure and the emotional tension that comes when the personal and the political collide.
