When Evelina is forced into marriage with Alexander Veyron, the cold and powerful heir of a family surrounded by secrets, she expects nothing more than a loveless arrangement.

    People say college gives you memories. Mine mostly gave me headaches. I came to a new city expecting lectures, assignments, and maybe one decent cup of coffee. Instead, I found Halston. Cool. Of course it was my kind of helplessness. Or my luck. Correction: Bad luck! A place where seniors have entirely too much confidence, peace has apparently never been discovered, and every corridor somehow leads to unnecessary problems. Apparently, making friends is complicated. Making enemies is effortless. And surviving? Well... I'm still trying. If you're waiting for the romance... So am I. If you're expecting common sense... You're definitely in the wrong place. Welcome to Halston. Watch your step. People here have a habit of overstepping.

    At nineteen, Princess Ayla has mastered the art of being everything a princess should not be.

So when the king announces that she has to get married, she refuses. Nikolai, however, is impossible to hate. He is composed where she is impulsive, courteous where she is defiant, and infuriatingly patient with every attempt she makes to drive him away. But behind his perfect manners lies an intention of his own-and an alliance neither of them entered for the same reasons. Then the kingdoms are threatened by something neither can explain. With their parents captured and their people left vulnerable, Ayla and Nikolai are forced to put their differences aside. Bound by an oath neither can break, they leave the safety of their kingdoms in search of a way to save. Because the fate of two kingdoms rests in their hands.

She had stumbled upon his decapitated head floating in the muddy water of the creek, days after he had been reported missing.

As she dug deeper, she uncovered a web of lies, betrayal, and a killer who was still on the loose.
