In Brookmere, magic defines power, and Princess Illiana Dresden—void of magic—is an exception. As the heir to the throne, she hides her secret behind a perfect facade, but the looming marriage trials threaten to expose everything.
Designed to secure succession, the trials bring ambitious Fae from across the land, many seeking the crown rather than Lana’s heart. One contender, Kade Blackthorn, stands out—not just for his shadowy power, but for the secrets he wields against her. Arrogant and dangerous, he may be the key to her survival—or her undoing.
As darkness spreads across Brookmere, alliances shift and peril mounts. Lana must decide whom to trust in a deadly game where love, betrayal, and survival collide, and the fate of her kingdom hangs in the balance.
