The enemy are at the gates and the heir must be protected at all costs. The only problem is...she has vanished.

Princess Algaia Domonov’s world is turned upside down when she discovers she may not be the daughter of the dryads she always believed herself to be. As she ponders her possible new identity, enemy forces from the North reach the border, and conscription is enacted, calling on one able-bodied person from each family to fight...except for her own. Not seeing her status as a reason for exemption, Algaia flees the safety of the palace to join her subjects at war.

However, life in a military camp isn’t like the one she is used to and it is only her stubborn determination to protect her people and be worthy of the crown she will one day bear, that keeps her from shedding her hidden identity. Attracting the cruel and uninvited attention of the camp Commander, forces her to form new alliances in order to survive. When the Captain of her scouting team takes on her punishment, feelings begin to brew between the older /more experienced soldier and the young princess. But no matter how right it feels, Algaia knows it is forbidden for a royal to fall in love with a human.

When training ends abruptly and the real war begins, could her desire to pave her own path mean the downfall of her country and the death of the man she loves? Or, will the hard lessons she has learnt beyond the palace walls, help her to save them all?
