He's a wickedly charming prince who'll sooner meet the end of my dagger before capturing my heart.
The moment Rainier entered my world, all that I knew began to unravel. This stranger-a prince from the kingdom separated by a Great War is determined to upend my life. Betrayals, lies, and deceit are nothing, compared to when Rainier forces me from my throne and all that I knew comes to a crashing halt.
Arianna, an abandoned princess of a forgotten kingdom will likely want to see me dead before accepting the truth of her fragile existence. But family comes first, especially when my sister-in-law begs me to save Arianna. Torn by loyalty-fate has other plans for us, and I'll risk it all for her heart.
Tensions rise, kingdoms collide, and everything is on the line. With secrets of the past threatening to destroy not only their lives but the future of fae-kind, Arianna will be tested and only Rainier can guide her through.
