Wilhelmina Heidle has always lived in the shadows. As the king’s hidden daughter, she spies for a father more obsessed with conquest than family. She dreams of freedom, of seeing the world beyond her gilded cage.
But one night changes everything. Attacked in the dark, Wil discovers her cursed secret: her touch turns flesh into gemstone. At first it feels like a nightmare, then a temptation—until tragedy forces her to flee her kingdom.
Her search for answers collides with a cursed prince, equally determined to wield her power for his own ends. Caught between loyalty to the family that used her and the dangerous pull of her volatile gift, Wil must decide if redemption is possible—or if destruction is her destiny.
