Princess Lillian Wyndhame is expected to take on her role as heir of Elmstead the day before her eighteenth birthday. The kingdom is happy, but Lillian is scared of what will happen next: she will have to marry Sir Finnian Prestcote, a cruel suitor from the rival Blackthorn.
Lillian dares to follow her heart when her best friend and lady-in-waiting suggests one night of freedom. She sneaks into the town square festival dressed as a commoner and with the help of Sir Jonathan, the loyal knight who has protected her since she was a child.
But as the lanterns, laughter, and stolen dances go on, friendship starts to change into something else. When the fireworks light up the night sky, Lillian realizes a scary truth: her heart doesn't belong to a prince or lord; it belongs to the knight who has sworn to protect her.
Duty demands obedience, Love demands defiance.
