In the misty hills of the Celtic lands, Princess Catrin reigns with a steadfast heart, her devotion to her people's well-being unwavering. Yet, when confronted with the king's cautionary words, she bravely defies convention, willing to risk all for their protection—even the dark arts. But fate has other plans. An unlikely love blossoms, shattering her carefully crafted world. Now, Catrin stands at a crossroads, her duty-bound path colliding with the fierce beat of her heart. Will she choose the familiar weight of responsibility or take a leap of faith, surrendering to love's transformative power?
