Book Description by Author:

A broken treaty. An enchanted blade. A love worth fighting for.

 

The truth has come out, but not as they expected.

 

The kingdom of Detmarya is on the brink of war, led by a king who has yet to be properly crowned. Shane took his father's throne far sooner than anticipated, and his fear of failure haunts his every move.

 

With the help of his friends, new and old, he must face betrayal, his sister's mortality, and his own feelings. But when a new story comes to light, one of a warrior worthy of carrying an ancient hero's blade, he dares to hope they may finally have the answers they seek.

 

For without the stars' help, despite having the biggest military on their side of the world, King Shane won't have the power to save those he loves.
