Publisher's Synopsis
--Epic fantasy for women of stone--
Oaths of the heart are not easily broken.
Princes Emerald was robbed of that which is most sacred, and surviving her tragic past is a constant struggle. She kept the loss of her virtue a secret in an attempt to maintain her dignity as ruler of the decimated land of Danalan. Unfortunately, the sexual assault has left her unable to accept the man she loved and promised to marry.
Oaths of the heart are not easily broken, but she has no choice when a kiss on the cheek is worse than a fist to the face. Love has the power to save her, but can she learn to open her heart to the light? Or will she be lost to the darkness inside her before she can fulfill her divine destiny to reunite the ancient Modutan Empire?
