    Rory was born with the mark of Cian, a sign he's fated to great power, and also, according to tradition, he’s got to marry Prince Kieran. It’s their destiny. Unfortunately, homosexuality isn’t looked highly upon by the kingdom, and nobody, including Kieran, wants this marriage to happen. But it must, because Cian has decreed it and playing favor with the God is more important than ever with war brewing on the home front. Will the boys find a way around tradition or will they be forced to marry? And what about producing an heir? With enemies encroaching, friends becoming foes, and lies and deception abound, can they find a happy ending?
