Ayla Acacius was born to be a queen. It was all she knew how to do, all she was taught to do. And yet she was the reason there would be no more Acacius queens, the reason Melonia itself would be no more, just another thing added to the spoils of war. Unless she can find a way to free her home and her people from the shackles of Nicaea's iron fist.

Amaryllis Callaia can do exactly two things, fight and embroidery. Only one of those makes her useful to her uncle, King Coriander. So when she was told to wage a war against Melonia so they could get access to their supply of cerinthus. But when the war was won and hostages were collected, she found herself in a precarious situation. One where she ended married to someone that wanted to kill her.
