Prince Brier Snow has lived in the shadow of King Snow's exalted memory. However, his fate changes when he nears his majority and Lirend's steward queen attempts to dethrone him by exploiting an obscure requirement in the late king's will: a yearlong sabbatical. Brier travels to the desolate land of Aire to train under the Ceve guild, scorned refugees of war, including their guarded leader, Roland. Brier's skillful master unlocks hidden potential, and what begins as a dutiful bond turns into ill-fated affection. When Brier returns to the capital, he's carrying proof of his indiscretions with Roland-and his condition grows more apparent with each passing day. An affair with the huntsman is a scandal Brier's enemies can use against him, but the birth of an heir is a burden even Brier is not sure he can bear. Roland Archer, a man with a murky past, is skeptical of the contract to train the prince but willing to do anything for the guild's freedom. Despite his best intentions, he is smitten by Lirend's future king. Roland has resigned himself to solitude, but fate has other plans-for him, for Brier, and for Lirend's oppressed subjects. Can Roland help Brier face a power-hungry queen and a country torn asunder? Either they will bring equality to a land that desperately needs it, or they'll be thwarted by cunning enemies and an illusory curse.
