In the course of a single day, the young queen of Cezia, Tamia Kilgstern, witnessed foreign invaders ransack her city, burn her kingdom to the ground, and murder her husband in cold blood. The people she had swore to protect as queen are now oppressed and subjugated under the rule of the infamous Aysen Goldfear, the Lion of Rodeli. However, rather than killing her, her conquerer offers a strange deal: marry him and rule by his side, and her people will not become slaves in his growing empire. Refuse, and she will be killed, her people massacred and enslaved.
Caught between lies and love, power and peace, Tamia must swallow her pride and become the Traitor Queen, marrying the king who destroyed her country and killed her husband. However, as she learns the ways of a new land and a new people, she finds that there may be more to the Lion of the East than she initially thought. Betrayal, deceit, and treachery as Tamia learns the two crucial lessons of the Rodeli Court.
Kings cannot afford compassion, and queens cannot afford to love.
