Kayden's mission should have been simple - she was sent to kill the prince . . . not to fall in love with him.

Within the palace walls, Kayden has discovered that things are not as she expected. Is there more to the royal family, or . . . is there a more sinister depth to Drey's mission?

Dvarius thought his mind was made up - but will he have the resolve to see it through?

Between attacks from outside the palace - and within, will the Prince live long enough to choose his Queen?

And will Kayden choose to follow her head . . . or her heart, knowing that her decision could very well make her a target as well!
