For Destiny Elshron, life has never been easy. She has had to work for a king she despises her entire life. And it isn't until she gets up enough to courage to compete in a neighboring kingdom's preliminaries that she does something for herself for a change. Only this decision sets her on a tailspin of love, adventure, surprises, and a full fledge war. If she had known what was to come, her wretched life would have appeared more as a blessing instead of a curse.
