Kestra Dallisor has spent the past three years in exile, but is suddenly drawn back into palace politics, when she’s kidnapped by a rebel group to be used as a bargaining chip against her father, the right hand man of the cruel king, Lord Endrick.
But Kestra is not the obedient captive they expected, and Simon, one of her kidnappers, will have his hands full as Kestra tries to foil their plot, by force, cunning, or any means necessary.
As motives shift and secrets emerge, both will have to decide what—and who—they’re fighting for.
