When Princess Reva vanishes under mysterious-and bloody-circumstances, the kingdom braces for chaos. To prevent a political collapse, Alec, the ruthless King of Haints, recruits Kali-a fiery young knight who looks exactly like the missing princess-to take her place. Thrust into royal gowns, court politics, and a fake romance with a monster she should fear, Kali must play her role flawlessly... or die trying. But the deeper she slips into Reva's life, the more she discovers about the lies, betrayals, and supernatural forces stalking the kingdom. As enemies close in and secrets spiral out of control, one truth becomes clear: Wearing a crown is easy. Surviving the deception is not. Alec: Life is a game of chess. Everyone is a pawn. They move as I command... and none of them realizes how close I am to checkmate. Kali: Everyone wears a mask. Smiles are currency. Trust is a myth. Family is a risk. And the one person you should never rely on- is yourself.

Twenty-year-old Emma Paige moves to the quaint, historic town of Havenwood hoping to trade dusty archives for a quiet new start. A devoted history buff, she sees only charming colonial architecture and forgotten lore-not the chilling, metallic scent of ozone that now clings to every shadowed street. Emma is oblivious to the dark legacy that follows her, and to the powerful magic running through her own veins. She's also oblivious to the fact that her estranged sister, Callie, is one of the few who knows what truly lurks beneath Havenwood's serene surface: a grotesque entity that feeds on the living, and has just torn free from its last victim. Callie tried to protect her sister by staying away, but the creature that ripped itself free is waiting. And it's hunting for something fresh, something unsuspecting-something with their blood. As Emma uncovers a history far more twisted than any textbook could describe, she realizes her new home is actually a cage. Can Emma unearth the secrets of her bloodline and the town's past before the entity makes her history?
