[Even knowing she wouldn't be loved. Even knowing she shouldn't love.]
Elfreda becomes the queen of a kingdom through a political marriage with an enemy nation. The only one who welcomes the queen from a barbarian tribe is an assassin sent to kill her. In a moment of desperation, Elfreda falls in love at first sight with her husband Ainar, who saves her, and slowly finds herself drawn to him. Meanwhile, Ainar, who married Elfreda from the start solely to use her, as she is the granddaughter of his enemy, also finds himself unwittingly falling for the pure and lovely Elfreda...
Even knowing she won't be loved by him, and even knowing he shouldn't love her, the two are drawn to each other. Will the end of this love be ruin?
