Queen Clara's world is shattering. Political unrest rises, enemies press in, and her kingdom's survival hinges on a single desperate gamble: an alliance with the neighboring Kingdom of Kentucky -- an empire fractured by rebellion, ruthless ambition, and the deadly Travelers who can bend time itself.

The price of peace? A forced marriage to a stranger whose loyalties -- and motives -- are hidden behind steel and shadow.

Thrust into a centuries-old feud, Clara becomes both queen and bargaining piece, navigating treachery, forbidden desire, and threats that strike at the heart of humanity's last surviving civilizations. As rival factions of Travelers collide, the consequences will reshape their world -- past, present, and future.

Can love survive in a realm carved by violence and betrayal? Or will Clara sacrifice everything -- body, blood, and throne -- to save what remains of her people?
