Erielle of the Eastern Kingdom has a terrible secret-one that could shame her forever. As the eldest daughter of the king, whoever she marries will be the next heir to the throne. But she is also a woman, and women have no place in the Court-or in her father's sympathy. If she does give voice to her secret, all dignity she has will be lost, and she could never be queen. And because of her secret's power over her life, she fears that she will never find love or contentment-or face the fear that holds her in bondage.
On top of everything, the kingdom faces the threat of civil war. Not only does Erielle have many responsibilities on her plate, especially as she readies herself for marriage, but she also must be confronted with her secret daily. And the only person who knows it is the man she will marry.
Will Erielle be able to conquer her secret? Or will the fear of exposure cause silence to reign?

But when this leads to the banishment of her from her own kingdom,she has lost her home, her people, and her throne-but not her fire. Esmé will do anything to survive. What will she do alongside humans? And will she ever reclaim her throne? Or will she destroy what's left of it? Elita Sinclaire was a quiet little mouse in the castle before she left. A mouse amongst wolves. Innocent and ignorant, no matter how many books she read. The refuge that diligent duty and books provided simply wasn't enough. There was still one life-shattering secret hiding right under her nose that led her to give up everything in Vampiria just to retain a sliver of her morality. After moving away to the human lands she thought she was safe from the darkness of Vampiria's courts. But when Esmé brings all of that with her, it threatens to burn down every aspect of the life she has built for herself. When Esmé and Elita's lives both collide, they must both confront their buried, bitter truths. By day they will tap into the power of the kingdom that they can't outrun. By night they will be con artists, stealing money, possessions and sometimes....lives. But will Esmé and Elita's secrets and pasts swallow them whole...or will it be the start of something new? Maybe even a relationship.
