How far are you willing to go for a taste of power?
    
    Through the eyes of an outsider, Phoenicia might seem like a peaceful, prosperous kingdom. But take a closer look, and you will see the burgundy blood that stains the hands of those standing up high. Their souls are marked with treachery, and the scars of betrayal mar their skin. But for power, it is a small price to pay.
    
        And in the heart of it all is Lady Anne Winterbourne, a little girl who dreams of becoming queen. She has it all-- wealth, influence, and a family that could support her, all except for one crucial element-- royal blood.
    
        Edmund, the Duke of Cindertrappe grew up alone in the bitter north, his throne stolen from him. Royal blood runs through his veins, but as long as his uncle lives, he would remain as nothing but a mere duke.
    
    When Anne becomes entangled with Edmund after a chance encounter in the palace gardens, a dangerous romance is born, one that would change the world forever.
