Its a riveting tale of political intrigue, family betrayal, and the thin line between love and vengeance. Prince Tristan Faasa, marked both by the torments of his childhood and a scar etched on his face, was never meant to ascend the throne. His destiny was usurped by his brother, Michael, the very person responsible for Tristan's painful past. As Michael prepares to take the throne, Tristan, leading a covert rebellion, is determined to wrestle power away from his brother.
The story takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Lady Sara Beatreaux, Michael's betrothed. Tristan, caught between his desire for the crown and the enigmatic Lady Sara, finds himself entangled in a new kind of conflict—one that blurs the boundaries of loyalty and love. McIntire weaves a complex narrative, exploring the intricacies of political machinations, familial discord, and the complexities of the heart.
Lady Sara, with her own hidden agenda, plans to marry the king and eradicate the Faasa line. However, her resolve is tested as she encounters Tristan, the Scarred Prince. The forbidden attraction between them adds a layer of tension and unpredictability to the unfolding story. McIntire delves into the internal struggle of Sara, torn between her mission of vengeance and the unexpected feelings she harbors for the man she was supposed to hate.
