Princess Daphne is sick of being treated as the king's pawn. So, even though she's supposed to be hanging back at the castle and choosing a suitor, she doesn't hesitate to follow her brother on a treacherous quest. Especially after learning there's a prophecy predicting his death. She devises a plan and sets out with her maidservant to rescue him - which seems like a great idea until they're kidnapped by outlaws. But Daphne's not one to give up so easily. Realizing that aligning with their captors might just guarantee their success, she cuts a deal with the dangerously charming Gregory. Forced to work together against impossible odds, she and Gregory learn that they need each other more than they knew. And as they race to save the prince, Daphne must decide if she's willing to give up everything she's ever known for a love she never expected...
