   Summary

   Love had always been an unknown territory to Rafiel. He knew from examining the herons around him what it was supposed to feel like, yet even in engagement to a beloved friend, the fire never came.

   Nailah hadn't considered love in her last ten years of rule. She knew no challenger to her crown would alight the same passion in her heart, so why would she try? Her duties to her people were her only mission.

   For both of them, their meeting somehow spirals into a journey of newfound emotion and purpose - and perhaps even the petals of love may have begun to bloom.
