Who can you trust when you're used to trusting no one? What can you do to stop a man that always seems to be one step ahead?

Sophie is out for revenge. Okay, so maybe it's more like running away from the bad guys, but she would never admit that. She has duties to persure, obligations to handle. Some of which include getting her best friend her soul back. Or killing the man who murdered her brother and distracted her parents.  

Little things like that, right? Well, not quite. Her problems get a little bigger when the dark Prince of the Shadow World captures her and questions her about the man she despises, among other things. 

Would you risk it all to stop running?

Or would love stop you in your tracks?

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
