Damaris Drakkis has lived her whole public life at her father's greedy bidding. Poise, elegance, grace, and wit to make anyone understand you're not to be trifled with. But although her twin brother Damian is the one being groomed to take over the bloody throne, it's Damaris who is adept at the art of war and combat. When her father brings up her wedding as punishment, she does what any young lady would do: runaway and become a highway bandit.

Eric Löwenkind is the second prince of seven in his country, but someone is trying to kill him. In an effort to keep his freedom and his head, he takes his best friend and guard with him to find someone who can help. But the slight and hooded figure who robs him on the road is not who his friend wants him to pursue. When they meet again at a festival, Eric has to see for himself how good this secret blade master, Merit, truly is. He knows a hidden treasure when he finds one.

When kingdoms are at odds and war is brewing, the secrets she keeps could be her undoing. A fiance on the hunt for her, a bounty on the head of the bandit Merit, and assassins  around every corner... And how is Eric supposed to ask Damaris to the ball?
