Princess Lyrielle Elyndor was supposed to die with the rest of her family.
On the night her kingdom fell, her uncle stole the throne, her parents were slaughtered, and history named her father a murderer. Hidden beneath a false name for five years, Lyrielle becomes Elle - a girl with a dead kingdom, a forbidden magic, and a dagger that remembers the brother who gave it to her.
But when fate throws her back into the path of Prince Kaien Vaelrune - the son of the king who ordered the attack on her home - the truth begins to unravel.
Kai is everything Elle should hate: Vaelrunian, dangerous, impossible to trust. Yet he is also the boy who saved her life the night Elyndor burned, and the man willing to risk his crown to expose the lie that destroyed them both.
As hidden armies rise, old magic awakens, and the real murderer draws closer to power, Elle must decide whether she is only the last survivor of a ruined house...
or the queen her kingdom has been waiting for.
A story of stolen thrones, forbidden love, political betrayal, royal magic, and two heirs caught between grief, duty, and a love that could either heal their kingdoms - or tear them apart.
