Princess Valeria of Kestra has spent years carrying a secret.
Ever since her father's death during a devastating attack on her kingdom, she has believed that the Kingdom of Arden was responsible. Though the rest of the world sees Arden as Kestra's greatest ally, Valeria knows there is more to the story-and she has sworn never to forget it.
Prince Julian of Arden has spent his entire life hearing a different truth.
Raised to believe that Kestra seeks to destroy his kingdom, Julian has been taught to view Princess Valeria as a threat rather than a future bride. To him, their arranged marriage is nothing more than a political move in a dangerous game.
When a promise made in childhood forces them together, neither is pleased.
Valeria sees Julian as the son of her enemy.
Julian sees Valeria as the princess of a kingdom he cannot trust.
Yet as they are drawn closer together, the truths they have always believed begin to unravel. Behind the alliances, the betrayals, and the crowns lies a web of secrets capable of changing everything they know about their families, their kingdoms, and themselves.
But the greatest danger may not be the lies surrounding them.
It may be falling for the one person they were taught to hate.
In a world where loyalty is uncertain and trust comes at a cost, Valeria and Julian must decide whether love is strong enough to survive the lies between them.
