To everyone in Capeshire, Avalynn De La Croix is someone to ignore. Being adopted into the royal family seems to have something to do with it. However, being accepted as a royal without blue blood is nearly impossible for her, and as she grows older her brother Darren's cruel words only get less tolerable. The arguments between them are no secret, and are always looked over, but when he goes missing the night before his coronation, the fraud princess is suddenly the center of attention. It's been two years and Darren De La Croix has been declared dead, but sudden discovery of new evidence suggests that Avalynn is guilty. Under the mercy of her father she's been given a month to find him, will she discover his whereabouts before it's too late? Or will she spend what's left of her life looking for a boy who's already six feet in the ground? During her adventures Avalynn uncovers secrets far beyond anything she could imagine, as she and her allies travel further into a world unknown, their trust in one another is tested. Outside the safety of the castle walls, nothing is as it seems.
