She has kept herself hidden, allowed herself to be shunned, lived in exile, all but for the love of the one man who she couldn't have.Prince Talyessin always knew who and what his Isla was, and he loved her still. But love was a meaningless thing when war threatened to tear them apart. Some loves are star-crossed, and some are set in Stone...
