Tanya is done with her past.

After dealing with abandonment from many people whom she believed to be closest to, Tanya Alterstone does whatever it takes to save enough money to leave Yander kingdom for good.

Upon learning that a powerful magical item is in the king's possession, she steals it from him; selling it to gain the remaining amount of money needed to escape.

Now a wanted criminal, she becomes even more desperate to start fresh in a new land. 

On top of it all, the king of Yander has begun to execute more accused magic users. While a small group of people rebel, they too are quickly stamped out. Terrified of the king and his insurmountable power, the rest of Yander does nothing to protest to his actions.     

One horrific night reveals a secret harbored deep within Tanya; unknown to even herself. A secret that will change the course of her life, and ultimately the fate of the entire kingdom.

But will it be for better, or for worse?

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.
