Theia Costas is a girl that lives a simple life as a Two in Clermont. The entire nation is turned upside-down with a shocking death and a kingdom on the verge of crumbling must make hasty decisions to right itself. She finds herself as one of thirty-six ladies among which Prince Kyprios will choose a bride from. As her journey plays out, she finds herself drawn in two separate directions: following her heart, which calls to one, or a life she never dared dream of, which leads her in another.
