A promise is a promise, but this promise is one I will have never made.

Mila, a special pacifist given birth to in the Motherlands, offers avoided issues all her life. Now, surviving in the Northlands with the ruling family who used her, she’s under great pressure to follow the traditions from the North and let fierce warriors fight for her hand in marriage.

But how can she marry if this means giving up on her behalf camaraderie with Jonah, the 1st man councilman in the Motherlands and her closest friend? Every evening they talk, have a good laugh, and share their darkest secrets.

Will Mila look for a tone of voice strong enough to state no, and it is she ready to jeopardize her family’s political power for Jonah, who probably wants nothing but a platonic friendship with her? Or does he?

Contains mature themes.
