Lady Clarille is seventeen, which means it is time for her to start courting. The only young lord who has caught her eye is Lord Berver, and she's determined to make him notice her. That is, until she meets the wealthy merchant, Keridel.

Keridel isn't noble. He isn't even a Teltan. But Clarille quickly realizes that doesn't matter to her. Keridel is charming, handsome and intelligent. Most importantly, he treats her like an equal. He talks to her about his business and listens to her ideas. He sees that she's more than just a prize to be married.

Their courtship starts with letters, and becomes much more.

Set nearly 50 years before 'Without a King', this is the story of Tannix's maternal grandparents.

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.
