The kingdom of Nalgoria trembles when its king declares he must wed a virgin bride before leading his armies into war with a neighboring kingdom. Feared and wrapped in dark legend, he is a ruler no family dares trust with their daughter.
Until Adelaine.
Quiet, kind, and quietly brave, the country girl enters the palace trials with little more than her courage. There, she catches the eye of a humble stableman-unaware he is the king in disguise, walking among the maidens chosen for his hand. As he watches them in secret, he finds himself drawn to the one woman who does not fear him.
But the palace is not safe.
As the trials continue, a hidden enemy moves through the halls, determined to bring the maidens down-especially Adelaine. With danger closing in, she must survive not only the king's tests, but the cruelty of someone who knows how to strike unseen.
Bound by secrets and growing trust, Adelaine and the disguised king are separated by a truth that could break them both.
She may be the only one who can break his curse...
if the truth does not destroy them first.
