Taran has killed the King... now she's first in line for the throne.
Killing the King was a sacrifice she was never meant to survive: her live given to end the life of a tyrant. But Taran has done more than simply survive. By the power of Death, Fate and a now-dead King, Taran finds herself the sole heir of the kingdom she has sworn to destroy. Imprisoned as a guest of honour she must wait until either Death or the crown claims her life. At first Taran's mind is made up, she'd rather die than rule at the helm of a conquering nation, but the longer she spends in the King's home, the more secrets are brought to life. Forbidden rituals, magical trials, bizarre murders. Someone is playing a dangerous game far grander than Taran had ever anticipated. Caught in political and romantic crossfire, Taran begins to realise that her ongoing presence is the only thing standing in the way of all these mysteries reaching the light - including her own catastrophic past. And what makes matters even worse is that Taran is beginning to realise her increasing attraction to the King who haunts her from beyond the grave. But as time progresses, only one real question remains: will Taran surrender her fate to Death, or will she choose to fight for the crown and the King she killed?
