Sixteen-year-old Raelynn Sokolov has survived her cold, gilded world by keeping her head down and protecting her little brother. Just days before escaping to boarding school, her hopes for freedom shatter-her mother has arranged an engagement to Dexter Beaumont, a boy she barely knows, in the name of family alliance.
Trapped in a world of polished lies and ruthless expectations, Raelynn must navigate the pressures of duty, betrayal, and a future she never chose-all while trying to hold on to the only pieces of herself that remain.
