Within a kingdom suffering from oppression and mysterious violence, Princess Reslyn lies hidden away from her people, being groomed for her role as future queen. When a threat is made against her life by the person she trusts most, she flees her kingdom, seeking allies and refuge. Instead, she is abducted and thrown out of her privileged life and into ruin. As she is thrust into the violent and shocking world of the Fae, she begins to question everything she knows about her kingdom and her family. She begins to grow closer to her captives, particularly Shade- the arrogant Fae soldier who challenges and feeds her newfound rage. Secrets about her past are unburied and brought to light. With her kingdom on the brink of bloodshed and war, she must decide which side she belongs to, and who is worth fighting for. What seemingly started as a death sentence, may become her salvation.
