A 16 year old girl is living a double life. One as a happy cheerful normal girl and another as a cutthroat princess with amazing power. Her life was never perfect, but as she falls in love with the enemy, she joins him to save the world from plunging into either complete light, or dark. Will she survive, or will she tear herself apart as she learns about her past, and follows her shadowed heart on what might be a dark path.
