He finds himself disguised in the only lifestyle he's ever wanted, on an undercover mission to find a magical potion. However, when the princess discovers his real identity, he must resort to desperate measures to avoid a life in the dungeons.
Amara and Dax both want nothing more than to return to their previous lives. But a murderer is on the loose, sabotaging the suitor competition, and time is running out.
Innocent lives are at stake, magic is the tip of the iceberg, and death is lurking around every corner.
But love could be the most powerful force that could save or destroy them all.
