When Malaena (Mal) takes her fragile sister's place at the altar, she expects King Wickarys's fury-but not the dangerous attraction that ignites between them. As blood magic and political schemes threaten the crown, the false queen might prove to be exactly who Wick needs... if her deception hasn't shattered any chance of trust between them.

Born to be a legacy, I was meant to lead-until my powers never manifested. My parents called me a failure, a pawn to marry off for their schemes. So, I ran. I left behind everything: my fated mates, the academy where future leaders of Ostania are forged, and the destiny that demanded my obedience. For three years, I've lived in the shadows, trying to survive. But now, I got dragged back to the academy, my duties, and the dangerous games of power and survival. Life and death are daily lessons here. My fated mates despise me, my enemies want me dead, and everyone thinks I'm broken. A girl with no powers. But they can't know the truth. My powers are a secret I must protect at all costs. *this is a why choose/reverse harem book where the FMC ends up with more than one partner *this story is a work of fiction *this book will contain smut (later in the story)
