Athena grows up witnessing the feuds and hate that transpired between her kingdom, and the kingdom of her erstwhile slave masters
Her inability to stand and watch her people get slaughtered one by one lands her under the roof of the son of her father's enemy.
She finds herself tending to the almost-fatal stab of a man who would have her dead without a second thought.
She finds herself falling deeply for the prince of her people's enemies.
The situation between the two kingdoms begin to shake up when the prince of Thestoria, a gorgeous and brutal young man is enamored by a certain Black woman, the one who had saved his life. She is all he can think about and it contradicts everything he's been loathing and fighting for years.
