Rowan Irelynn has little power in a kingdom said to be hers. She must hold her tongue, biting back her longing for reason and a desire for the magic she believes lives on a kingdom that has tried to forget.
When a prince-turned-thief reaches her gilded kingdom and seeks to collect on a favor no one saw coming, Rowan must choose between the country she is destined to rule and the world outside; a world boasting of magic and dragons and secrets she'd love to get her hands on.
Can Rowan leave her life in the hands of fate or will she feed the desire for more, the craving for magic beyond her control? Will the future queen rule her kingdom or will the crown fall at the feet of something cloaked in darkness?
