In the small and struggling kingdom of Slaxaria, the isolated Prince Wren spent years locked away in a tower, lost in the pages of his books, oblivious to the world outside. He had always been told that his confinement was for his safety, a justification that left him yearning for answers. However, his life takes a devastating turn when a conqueror from Luxen attacks, leaving Wren's family imprisoned alongside him.

With the treaty formed and made, he takes his new bride home, but the mechanizations of war continue outside the kingdom, and the God King from across the sea threatens more than just the kingdom; he threatens Prince Enki’s bride.
