Summary: The stones of power hold all magic in the realm and the Queens who wield them must be protected. For generations, Seekers have scoured the realm searching for children with the potential to become part of the Queens' guard. Potentials are raised-first in Nurseries and then the Citadel-secluded from touch until a new Queen is crowned by the stones. Only the most skilled Potential will be chosen to become bonded to the Queen, serving as her protector and consort for the rest of their lives.
Phil Coulson-once Potential, war veteran, and now Citadel trainer-has never met anyone like Clint Barton. While his path to the Citadel has been unorthodox, his skills are undeniable. Phil believes he can foster Clint's skills until there is no question who most deserves to become the next Queen's guard, but when the time comes, can they willingly sever the fragile threads of one bond to serve another?
