Vivienna was born giftless, unlike her seven older half sisters from her fathers first marriage. She was promised the throne, being the eldest and only child of the current King Aldyn and Queen Rosalie. The day before her coronation, her parents reveal she will not become Queen, instead, her sister Selena will be, and Vinny will be appointed her personal protector. Vinny, outraged, leaves the Kingdon of Askorr with her closest friend, and sets out to prove herself worthy of the throne. What lengths will she go to, to eliminate the threats to her royal status? Will her actions prove strength and courage, or depravity and insanity? Will Vivienna destroy herself along the way?
