When Jackie Kennedy decides it's time for her son, John F. Kennedy Jr., to settle down, she arranges an engagement with Betsy Vanderbilt, the rebellious heiress of one of America's wealthiest families. Neither John nor Betsy is thrilled with the idea of becoming pawns in their families' high-society games, and they vow to make the engagement as difficult as possible. But as they are forced to navigate a whirlwind of public appearances, staged romance, and elaborate family schemes, something unexpected happens - their fake romance begins to feel a little too real. Betsy is drawn to John's charm and the vulnerability he hides behind his playboy persona, while John is captivated by Betsy's wit, confidence, and refusal to play by anyone's rules. From heated arguments to stolen moments under the stars, they find themselves falling for each other in ways neither of them expected. But with their families pushing them toward a union they never wanted, can they trust their growing feelings? Or are they simply getting caught up in a game they never chose to play? In a world where appearances are everything, can two people find the courage to embrace what's real?

(This story takes place after a Court of Silver flames) After Amarantha and Hybern fell, Prythian did not heal. It fractured.

The first High Lady that exists in Prythian, but not only is she of Winter, but of another Court. The last living heir of the lost kingdom of the Dusk Court. The lost bloodline lives within her. Her return sends shockwaves through the courts, turning her into a prize, a threat, and a target. She did not come back for power or a throne-she came back for her people. For the children. For the broken and the forgotten. She never meant to fall in love. But the Cauldron does not ask permission. Bound to the most lethal male in Prythian-the Shadowsinger of the Night Court-her fate becomes entangled with a darkness that mirrors her own. Together, they will either remake Prythian... Or burn it to the ground.
