What does it take for a man to avoid his destiny? Protect the Elven Nation from neighboring humans, save his sister from a fortified city of loathsome knights, and evade the expectations that accompany being an heir to the throne. For decades, General Neldrid Zorlias has made no time for love. Duty comes first. He made certain of that, especially after an unsuccessful engagement. Neldrid has too much needing his attention, particularly his sister, Thylaina. While at the palace to report a failed rescue attempt for his sister from the humans who had once been allies of the elves, Neldrid finds himself smitten with his cousin's handmaiden. Foolish, for he has never indulged with palace servants, but this woman seems genuine. Denyera displays respect, kindheartedness, and charm. Not to mention the passion she shares with Neldrid is unlike any he has ever experienced. Yet since the beginning of their affair, Neldrid's decisions endanger his career, friendships, and freedom. His life may never be the same. How does a servant's simple life lose control so easily? Denyera adores serving the princess, her closest friend for twenty years. Bringing joy and pleasing Her Highness is the handmaiden's greatest delight. However, that special relationship, along with Denyera's calm life at the palace, is compromised when she gains the affection of the princess' cousin, Lord Neldrid. Her affair with Neldrid not only displeases Princess Valrae, but another powerful figure the Elven Nation. The king's advisor, Lord Kyliseth, has been attempting marriage arrangements for Neldrid over the past several decades. And Denyera's presence brings all efforts to a halt. It matters not that Neldrid is the most desirable man in Etharell, nor that he might one day sit on the throne, Denyera loves him for the elf that he is, not the position he holds. She wants nothing more than to share a joyous life with Neldrid. But schemes and manipulation prevent Neldrid and Denyera from their desire of a happy lifetime together. Deceit push the lovers into choices that threaten to change them... and hurt those they care about. Can Neldrid and Denyera survive such treachery? Or will destiny force them apart?
