Ide is the third-born princess of the isolated, rigidly superstitious kingdom of Abfhaenn, where tradition is worshipped and change is feared. Her secret? An enchanted ring, left to her by her late mother, which renders its wearer invisible when turned counter-clockwise. It's a dream come true for Ide, an awkward spare heir whose greatest wish is to disappear. But the king of the valley is dead, and the throne is perilously near the grasp of the last person who should take it: his spurned younger brother, the glitteringly charismatic Lord Graeme, who will stop at nothing to take back what he's owed. The last thing Ide wants to do is draw attention to herself, but when her mother died, she left behind a mystery that only Ide could possibly solve. With the aid of a mysterious alley cat and an irritatingly dreamy stable hand, she's forced to realize that the ring might be the key to stopping Graeme - but taking action means being seen, and failure comes at a fatal cost.
