After losing her parents, Delinda Glen is crowned Lady of the Hunt, leader of the Wilding Gorge. In order to help her people, suffering from the same harsh winter and plague that claimed her parents, she turns to the rival Iromaine Forest Kingdom for help with one simple offer.

Her hand in marriage to the second-born Prince Darrow in exchange for peace and trade.

But not everyone in the Wilding Gorge wants the two kingdoms to find peace, and soon she finds her life and her kingdom threatened by sinister forces. Alongside Prince Darrow and his loyal guard, Sir Heskel, she must fight and survive.

Can she trust these members of the rival kingdom? Will she be enough to save the land and people she loves? Will she find love herself?
