But when refugees from the destroyed Sinclair clan arrive on Murray lands, everything changes. Bran, the new leader of the Sinclairs, seeks refuge with his clan's sworn enemies. He never expected that in enemy territory, he'd find a glimmer of hope in Olivia's eyes.

With danger closing in and loyalties tested, Olivia must decide: Will she follow her duty—or her heart?
