    Summary

    To save a kingdom, she must marry a stranger. To survive the journey, she must trust the one man she can never have.

    With a war looming on Velaris, King Rhysand and Queen Feyre arrange the marriage of Princess Elain to a foreign prince to secure a vital alliance.
    For Elain, it is a gilded death sentence and her only comfort lies with Azriel, the Captain of the Royal Guard who has been sworn to protect her for years.
    Azriel is utterly in love with Elain, though, knowing of his low birth, he believes himself entirely unworthy of her.
    He then has to accept his final, cruelest assignment, commanding the guard that will escort her across the continent to her wedding.
    But as the journey begins, the boundaries of duty and desire fray.
