She traded a crown for a sword and now she must trade her sword for a wedding vow.

Princess Leone of Alderia has never fit the mold of a proper royal. Known as the "Golden Lion," she chose armor over dresses and honor over obedience, rising through the ranks to become the kingdom's fiercest knight general.

But when the enemy nation of Zergios teeters on the edge of ruin, a shocking proposal arrives not of war, but of marriage. Her husband-to-be? None other than Marshal Berthold, the man she has clashed swords with countless times on the battlefield.

Alone and armored, Leone journeys into enemy territory to marry her rival. It's a political arrangement, a means of control nothing more. But as Berthold's silent strength and awkward kindness begin to disarm her, Leone finds her well-trained heart wavering for the first time.

Two warriors, once bound by blade, now bound by vows can love bloom where only steel once stood?
