*"I never wanted this. I'd never wanted Sebastian, in the beginning. I traded one king for another. And I didn't want either one."* Elizabeth has been in Derrick's kingdom for months, only hanging on by a promise from her werewolf to be saved. Only her werewolf never came. Until her ruthless, manipulative captor finds Isaac and his pack residing in a small religious village, planning a revolt against him. After accepting an offer she can't refuse, Elizabeth is unwillingly thrown into court politics, where she meets someone she never thought she'd see again. But he is no longer the sweet, slightly-obsessed-with-her creature she left in Sebastian's burning kingdom. With war on the horizon, Elizabeth must choose the lesser of three evils, one king out of three. She is no longer a common, destitute girl living with her parents, but a critical war piece in the deadly game of battle. And the only way to make it out is to turn her heart into stone.
