A princess. A king. Their passion was forbidden, intense, and far more complicated that Satima ever understood. But Toren knew. And now the barrier between their worlds has been lifted and control has shifted to King Toren. He is her king. If he lives to rule and make her his. Life. Death. Passion. Worlds that may well burn before the one guardian blade pierces the veil of hate to save the innocents of worlds bloodied with the destruction of war.
