sleep. The God of Risk Macean was awakened by an enemy all thought dead and across the sea

gilded ballroom of the royal palace to the hallowed halls of an ancient library. Battle lines
will be drawn and bonds will break. With the wrath of gods and the machinations of power-hungry
rulers straining their loyalties can their love withstand the trials that await them?
