***Book Two***
Six long years peace on the throne before Mirabelle was driven out by the very brother she now despised, her half-brother, now around fourteen, had come to claim his throne. The people she once respected, turned away from her once again, it was her hope that the people would pay for their mistake for if she could not claim the throne, she would use force to take it.
She made an alliance with a king, a marriage of politics but if her half-brother was anything like his father, she knew she was still not safe, she needed to conquer to rule, needing help to do it, clinging onto her birth right, refusing to be set aside for a 'legitimate' heir.
There was one she needed to find, one man or beast who had gone into hiding since his creation, Merek, her brother, the calmer one yet a powerful ally, if things led to war.
Noor, a dancer in the Royal Court of the Al-Yauzhan Empire wants nothing more than to pay off her debts and lead a nice, simple life-but a chance encounter with the crown prince and his brother brings her into the dangerous world of court politics. As Noor and the princes investigate their uncle and cousin's possible treason, she grows closer to the crown prince, but in order to save the kingdom and the person she loves, Noor will have to risk everything...

Noor and Amir are close to having everything they've ever dreamed of...now all they need to do is survive.
