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.
