A fallen human heiress takes in a wounded centaur during a storm, mistaking him for a beautiful homeless scout. She supports him, marries him on impulse, and brings him into her household.
Only when her family collapses, her enemies close in, and the royal court arrives at her door does she discover that the “poor little thing” who had willingly let her fasten a silver chain around him is in fact the centaur crown prince feared across the entire continent.
