Merope and her family have been studying faerie spells and culture for generations, despite not having magic of their own. Practicing spells but never casting has taken a mental toll on the siblings after all these years. However, while vacationing in the great kingdom of Almas, a coup breaks out, separating Merope from her family. She gets thrown in prison where she meets two princes that'll accompany her to the stones that have been rumored to help bring magic back to the fae. Merope must not let anyone find out that she is a faerie and what her intentions are, if she values her freedom.
