Cast back to Exile Island, Haide wants no part of Rathe or of King Legend Deveraux, the man who chose another woman over the bond they once shared.
Magic strong enough to shake kingdoms had tied them together, but Legend now watches her with hatred, convinced she manipulated him and nearly destroyed him.
As Rathe's court celebrates his new mate, that bond is false, his magic is failing, his mind is drifting from the truth, and the woman at his side is tightening her hold on the throne.
Desperate, his brothers turn to Haide, the woman they once condemned, because Legend is slowly dying and the old connection between them still pulls.
Saving him means breaking the false bond, yet restoring the true one may demand more from both of them than either betrayal or magic can explain.
