Amongst the political discord and supernatural strife, sits Audriel Pellinor, heir to the throne of the empire, who refuses to follow tradition and find a husband.  This epic tale follows a myriad of people across the empire who have everything at stake in this plight.  At the center of it all, Audriel struggles with the uncertainty of who she can trust as plots abound to kill her and usurp her throne.
