His mission: to dismantle the fragile peace from within, ensuring the war reignites for reasons unknown to him. As Elara navigates the treacherous enemy court, guarded by a jester whose loyalty is a lie, a dangerous dance of deceit begins. Can Kael fulfill his destructive orders when the princess's genuine spirit starts to chip away at his hardened heart, threatening to expose a truth more devastating than war itself?
