Two identities. One room. And a secret neither can afford to reveal.
When the ruthless Second Prince of Helath sets his sights on her family's military power, Eliana Lucidross, the daughter of a powerful duke, has only one way to escape becoming his pawn-disappear.
Cutting her hair and disguising herself as a boy, Eliana flees to the Alferix Empire and enrolls in the prestigious all-male Kaisern Academy under the name Eli Sestienne.
There, she meets her new roommate, Kiran Wystern.
What Eliana doesn't know is that Kiran is hiding a secret of his own. He is actually Kiran Alferia, Duke of Wyntham and younger brother of the Emperor-and he's disguised himself simply to escape the suffocating expectations of his title.
Neither knows the other's true identity.
Yet they become fast friends, drawn together by shared interests, mischievous personalities, and the strange freedom of being around someone who doesn't know who they really are.
They make one rule:
Don't ask questions.
But as friendship turns into something neither of them expected, keeping their secrets becomes harder-and falling in love becomes even more dangerous.
Because the Second Prince is still searching for Eliana.
And soon, the politics of two kingdoms will force both Eli and Kiran to choose between the identities they've fought to hide...
and the person they've come to love.
