A quest for a prince. A bond neither expected. A love that defies the oldest elven magic.

Beiro Vahorn, known to the small band of druidic scouts he rides with as the Pine Outrider, has come to a painful realization: the man that he has been infatuated with since he joined the royal exploratory committee has fallen in love with another. When the shy, sharp-eyed archer is called back from his current assignment, he’s sent on a monumental quest to find a long-lost prince of Melowynn. Tasked to cross the mighty Witherhorn Mountains to locate the king’s brother, he finds himself working with a dwarven sellsword.

Asdren Grimmane knows the dark underbelly of the mountains better than most know their own faces. He’s rough, loud, and more than willing to bend a rule or twenty to get his pay. The battle-worn dwarf long ago traded hearthlight for the road. Once a decorated warrior, now a mercenary with too many scars and not enough years ahead, he carries his honor like an old wound—painful but never forgotten. Their alliance begins in frost and friction, but the deeper they journey—through underground passes, forgotten dwarven ruins, and the whispers of ancient gods—the harder it becomes for Beiro to deny the pull between them.

As the hunt for the lost prince twists into a peril that could unravel the balance of nature itself, Beiro and Asdren must decide what they’re willing to risk: their vows, their kingdoms…or each other.
