Serafina and Marilyn: polar opposites. Fourteen-year-old ladies-in-waiting to the vain, secretive, mysterious, queer, malevolent, dangerous, possibly magical and almost silent Princess Alexandra. Best friends since youth, and nothing could change that.....or so thought the world.....

One night, Serafina and Alexandra are left alone for a few hours, and Alexandra actually opens up to the younger blonde. She lets her walls collapse for no more than two hundred and ten minutes, and Serafina is shocked to find that she and the formerly distant heir have a lot in common. Alexandra shapshifts in Serafina's mind from a monster.....to a human. A human with a heart....one that's been shattered so many times that it rarely ever beats for anybody anymore. Alexandra starts trusting Serafina, and the two slowly become friends.....

When Marilyn discovers the bond between the two, at first she's unshaken. But when Serafina starts leaving Marilyn out in the cold to spend time with Alexandra, she grows suspicious, especially since Serafina starts acting much less like herself. When Marilyn confronts Alexandra, the princess claims that she's committed no foul play, convincing everyone in the room, including Serafina. When a shocking discovery takes place, so does a horrid effect.

Zachary Gryson is an ambassador to the kingdom that Alexandra will preside over. Serafina is enchanted by the prince almost instantaneously upon initial glance, as he is with her. But when she discovers that he's actually there to be betrothed to Alexandra, she grows to despise the princess, leaving Alexandra in a literal nightmare for the youthful heir, who will soon suffer a tragic loss and become a premature ruler. Without a husband, her claim is questioned.

But she loves another besides her betrothed, a mystery who no one knows. With all such problems surrounding & fiends circling, how will Éttena fare?
