Will love be enough to repair the damage caused by so many years apart?

Will their need to protect one another be their undoing?

Torn apart during one battle only to be reunited during another, Strian and Gressa must learn to trust one another again, sharing the truth of their time apart while relying upon one another to survive. Will their pasts drive them apart even when their hearts call to one another?
