When the seemingly invincible King Lazuli finally comes face-to-face with Serenity Freeman, the last hope of the Western resistance, sparks fly in the most dangerous way possible—neither expected the other to be so utterly captivating. Serenity has lost everything to this immortal conqueror's relentless campaign, yet she finds herself drawn to the man beneath the crown, while Lazuli discovers there's one thing in this world he cannot control: his need for her. As surrender looms and the two navigate a connection neither can deny, they must grapple with the question of whether love can bloom on a battlefield, and at what cost. This is a sweeping, enemies-to-lovers epic that proves even the most hardened hearts can find redemption in the most unexpected places.
