When Dane, a phoenix shifter prince meets Isobel, a poor human peasant, love was the last thing on his mind. But her fiery spirit is more than a match for his own, and sparks fly between this unlikely match! Can their love overcome the war between humans and shifters?
While his beloved brother Warwick has revealed himself as a phoenix, Dane is well past the typical turning age - will his phoenix nature emerge so that he can rightfully challenge his brother for the crown or will he remain a weak and insignificant human in a family full of immortals?
As unrest in the Kingdom grows, his feelings for Isobel deepens as his vindictive mother, the Queen, wages war against humans as an act of vengeance for a perceived betrayal.
Caught in the crossfire, Isobel is injured and imprisoned, nursing wounds both old and new. Dane will stop at nothing to rescue her and save her life, even if it means losing everything and destroying any possibility of a life together.
When it seems even fate is against them, will Dane and Isobel brave the unknown path ahead or will they sacrifice their love for the greater good?
