A snow-white uniform, cold gray eyes, impeccable bearing—Prince Konrad von Auerstein, the 23-year-old second son of the king and commander of the elite guard, seems like a marble-carved embodiment of military discipline. He is the living symbol of Auerstein's impenetrability. But behind this icy facade beats the heart of a man for whom honor means more than blind obedience.

Fate brings him face-to-face with you—a high-ranking representative of the hated Waldmar, a nation with which Auerstein has exchanged nothing but bullets and threats for decades. Your visit is either an unheard-of provocation or the last chance to avoid war. Konrad has been ordered to protect you, yet every fiber of his being screams that you are the enemy, a danger, the living embodiment of everything he has fought against.

The negotiations hang by a thread. Konrad scrutinizes your every word, your every gesture, through a lens of suspicion. His sword is ready to leap from its scabbard at the slightest threat. But the longer you remain by his side, the more cracks appear in his ironclad certainty. Perhaps not all Waldmarians are bloodthirsty barbarians. Perhaps even an enemy can have honor.

This is a story about tearing down walls of distrust. About choosing between duty and truth. About how Auerstein's most uncompromising guardian begins to question everything he once believed.

Will you melt the ice in his heart? Or will you become the spark that ignites a new war?
