Lorendian, a small country north of Russia, is under attack by Radeskian, a neighboring country with which Lorendian coexists peacefully only by immense effort. Radeskian is mad with thirst for power, perhaps even going so far as to plant a spy within the royal circle. But none of that matters to Celeste Edulici, the eldest daughter of Lorendian's single most influential family. Aside from not having seen her father in a decade, Celeste is something of a mystery, even to those closest to her. A dark cloak hides her face from view all the time, whether hiding beauty or abnormality nobody knows. Her face hasn't been seen in public since her dad disappeared. Not once. So when the tables turn and a royal starts taking interest in Celeste, she's at a loss. Between the loss of a father, an oncoming war, and a prince fighting for her affection, will Celeste finally shed her cloak?

She was just a princess and future Queen of the High Kingdom right? Soon enough, she will learn that she has had a red dot pointed at her heart since before she was even born. Elliana finds the line of good and bad blurred sometimes, but she isn't aware that it is because someone has put a speck of darkness in her heart and it will only show when she turns sixteen years old. Leegan has always protected his twin sister. When he was only ten years old, he overheard his parents talking about an evil man that would come for his sister. Since then, he has trained with the most elite to help protect his best friend/sister. He never thought the day when his sister would disappear would be so soon. If the man who promised Leegan's mother through dreams that he would steal Elliana away didn't kill or harm his sister, the wicked creature that was traveling with her would.
