Kalista was sent to Varian's kingdom under the pretense of being a visitor, but her true mission was far more complicated. Tasked by her mother to spy on Varian her facade being one of his knights, she had to evaluate if he was a suitable match for her younger sister. What she didn't expect was to find herself in his service as a knight for four years. During that time, a forbidden romance sparked between them, but Kalista's loyalty to her family always held her back. Eventually, unable to reconcile her duty with her heart, she ran away to explore the realm, seeking distance from Varian and her tangled emotions and a secret.
