A reluctant prince. A bitter falconer. A love that dawn cannot break.
Lord Byran, Duke of Starnfell, wants nothing to do with the royals. And neither does Issac, his sharp-tongued falconer. Issac's hatred is personal: his brother died in service to the crown, and no one has ever answered for it. But when a wolf attack forces Brin to intervene, Issac finds himself drawn to the silver-haired prince against every instinct.

But when the kingdom begins to fracture and rebellious lords question his sister's right to rule, Brin is summoned to do what he does best: charm the most powerful—and most stubborn—detractor of the queen. It is as his family and the kingdom spiral into chaos that Brin’s heart inexorably falls for the mysterious falconer.
Will Brin stop running, and finally stand as a leader of his kingdom? Can Issac hate the crown and still love the prince wearing it?
