Romance at the heart of it. Historical battle surrounding it. Secret lovers fighting to survive it.

Beloved and beautiful Princess Marguerite of Asterias has grown up amid the ruins of a hundred-year war. Feeling useless in the face of almost certain disaster, she secretly steals away from the castle and becomes Meg, a woman in disguise, who feeds and clothes the hungry. In her travels, she's desperate to find someone who can help her father, the king, save their country.

Dark and handsome Captain Nicholas Sheppard is Edmira's most capable soldier and spy. Pressed into the army as a teen, he has spent years winning battles that Edmira seemed certain to lose. He's a stone-cold killer with a talent for snatching victory at just the right moment, the stuff of legends. The storytellers have dubbed him the Wolf Knight.

Stumbling upon "loveliest Meg" while on a mission to kill the crowned prince, and falling in love with her, is the very last thing he ever intended. As the two armies move closer to a final battle, he cannot bring himself to give her up.

As the Princess and the Captain navigate the political intrigue between their countries, each trying to outwit the other, they find solace and a measure of stolen peace in their clandestine meetings, never guessing that their greatest love and their greatest threat are one and the same.
