A wedding against their will, an unexpected passion! Two like fire and water: Illiana Henriksdotter, highborn, intelligent, and well-versed in the healing arts. Markus Järv, a knight marked by life. As a child, he narrowly escaped death and torture, and now he is a man of war. They agree on only one thing: they want nothing to do with each other. But fate has other plans. On a journey full of dangers, suppressed passion, and unexpected courage, they must unite their strengths to confront a deadly enemy. Simona Ahrstedt's writing style is perfect.
