Erik Eastwind has spent his life as a warrior, but watching his former rival Avrid find love has left him restless and searching for something more. When a routine mercenary job guarding a Aldoran caravan goes wrong, Erik discovers their secret cargo—a captive prince whose golden eyes and defiant spirit ignite feelings he's never experienced before.

Riven is the fiery and stubborn crown prince of the mountainous Ashlands, captured while defending his people's fortress. Bound in iron chains and deemed too valuable to kill, he's biding his time for an escape—until a fierce barbarian warrior breaks his shackles and changes everything. As they escape together and make their way back to safety, they discover they work better together than either of them could have anticipated.

But their growing passion faces impossible obstacles. Erik believes a prince could never truly want a common mercenary, while Riven struggles with a royal betrothal that could strengthen his besieged homeland's defenses. As they race toward the Ashlands, dodging Aldoran trackers and fighting their own insecurities, both men must decide what they're willing to sacrifice for love.
