One moment, Thea Rivers was living her postgrad life in Washington, DC. The next, she was standing in a palace that shouldn't exist - mistaken for one of the many elite women competing for a cold, impossibly powerful prince. She doesn't belong here. But he wants her anyway. The Designation is brutal. Cutthroat. Magical. And Thea is already breaking every rule - especially his. But the deeper she falls into this dangerous world, the more she begins to change. Something is waking up inside her. Something that scares even him. A dark, addictive romance full of power, obsession, and a girl who was never meant to survive the palace, let alone rule it.
