Christina Casey has been a part of the shadow world all her life.
Growing up in The Shadow Guard, the assassin organisation that is at the disposal of the royal family, she is surrounded by desperate serfs searching for gold and the strongest warriors the military has to offer. And amongst these many men and few women grappling for high-paying missions, she is the best of the best.
In the kingdom of Featherheart, Christina has been assigned protector of Princess Eleanor, her cover: the betrothed of the future king, Prince Caspian. The problem: Caspian's charming persona and mischevious ways are threatening to steal her heart, and she can only play the part as a neighbouring princess for so long, until she finds the person offering the steep price on the Princess's head.
In a world of feuding kingdoms, families battling for power and handsome young men grappling for her heart, Christina must figure out who is on her side, and who her enemies are.

In the kingdom of Drakmire, elves are enslaved, mermaids are hunted for sport, fairies are drained of their life force and magic is forbidden. Those who manifest powers must surrender themselves to the capital, where their magic is drained to fuel the monarchy's control. To defy this law is to be hunted and executed. Among all magic users, the Core Four elemental wielders-Fire, Water, Earth, and Air-is the only magic where only one user exists at a time. Princess Evandra "Eva" Solcrest has lived her life as Drakmire's jewel: vain, self-centered, and untouchable. But days before her 17th birthday, everything changes. Chosen as the new Water Wielder, Eva suddenly finds herself burdened with forbidden magic she neither understands nor wants. Terrified of discovery, she conceals her newfound powers, desperate to maintain her perfect façade. When an assassination attempt disrupts her grand birthday celebration, Eva's parents assign her a bodyguard: Kade, a brooding soldier with little patience for the spoiled princess he's sworn to protect.
