Premise: Ritcherd and Kyrah have finally reunited, but they are still a very long way from the idyllic life that both have dreamed of. As the small family battles to survive in a land turned inside out by war, the cruelty of Peter Westman stalks their every action. He is still Kyrah's husband in the eyes of the law, and he is determined to keep it that way, no matter the cost.
As they begin their journey back to England, emotions are as tumultuous as the sea they must cross. Ritcherd struggles to reconcile his current feelings with the expectations of his aristocratic upbringing. Meanwhile, Kyrah tries desperately to keep their little family afloat through betrayal after betrayal.
Friends and foe alike stand in the way of Ritcherd and Kyrah's happy ending, and when long-buried secrets come to light, the truth has consequences none of them could have foreseen.
