From Broken Vows to Crowned Glory

On the night of her wedding, Cale Lowe is called away to the battlefield by the emperor's order, leaving her newlywed life behind before it has really begun.

Her return brings a painful reckoning with a marriage shaped by betrayal, as she must decide how to stand her ground and whether the bond she once trusted can be rebuilt on new terms.
