***********************************
Freedom. Justice. Love. Betrayal. Pain. Desire. Power. A corrupt kingdom with an even more corrupt king.
And then there was Peachy.
Arrested by the King in her own home, because her abilities made her too much of a threat for her to be allowed to roam free. But, instead of facing the death penalty like she had been supposed to, she was imprisoned and turned into the King's weapon.
The Queen's weapon.
Prince Ivan's weapon.
Prince Salem's weapon.
But Peachy knew her abilities, and she knew her manipulative, deranged self. She might be the cause of her own downfall, but she would also be the cause of their's. She would make sure of it.
