Master of the Fleet

He was one of the wealthiest men on the Cote and a powerful shaper of wind and water. And he'd finally met the woman he wanted to make his wife. While she hadn't refused his proposal, she hadn't yet accepted either. Their trip back to her home kingdom for the festival should have been the perfect time to repeat his proposal, but somehow it all went wrong. Now he's married to a woman who will never love him and who can't enjoy being his lover. Doubly bound by marriage vows and a blood oath, he doubts there will be a happily-ever-after.

How had he not seen what was going on? And what was he going to do?
