The king is dead.
With war hanging treacherously over the allies of the western kingdom of Ethor, Daria, the ward of Queen Lucia, finds herself struggling to stay ahead of political intrigue and a pending marriage to an affectionate, patronizing Grand Duke. She throws herself into heading an undercover operation to rescue young women from the same horrors of her own childhood, but even her dreams of running a safe haven for the girls come to a halt when the return of the queen's runaway son draws a new threat from the past.
Tangled in secrets, greed, and murder, Daria must enlist in an unlikely alliance to protect her girls and stop a growing power from the south as truths about her own history surface and bind her and everything she loves to the fate of the Continent.

"Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning!
