A political marriage. A truth that cannot be ignored. An inevitable war.
Lady Amelie Clemens wished only for a quiet life following two failed engagements in the span of a year - a life her father agreed to grant her. When she is once more promised to a man - this time, untitled but wealthier than sin - she realizes that the only promises that are ever kept are between Crown and country.
When her new husband vanishes the morning after their vows are sworn, she unexpectedly is granted the solitude she had been looking for, at least until the next social season begins.
As conflict escalates at the southern border of the kingdom, Amelie feels that she is the only person at court that seems to notice that not all is at it seems. When whispers of treason reach her gates, she will be thrust into a web of lies, war and unexpected love.
In a world once divided by magic and now ruled by fear, she must choose if silence is a weapon or a crutch.
