In a world where emotional ties intertwine with the cosmos and military strategies clash, Gwendolyn Ashford finds herself caught in a tumultuous whirlwind of desire, responsibility, and sacrifice. As one of the Empire's highest-ranking marshals, Gwendolyn is no stranger to the pressures of duty, yet her heart belongs to the fierce and enigmatic Lysander Vale. Their passionate relationship, filled with fierce kisses and profound yearning, threatens to be overshadowed by an impending darkness that looms over the galaxy. When a vital military drill in the contested borders of Frost Haven demands Lysander's attention, Gwendolyn is left to wrestle with her feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. As their worlds collide, secrets buried within the Empire emerge, threatening not just their bond but the very fabric of their society.
