Philomena is a child of the empire, traded to faraway Deusetats to seal an alliance and marry a prince: the handsome but arrogant Prince Rainhart.
However, politics is never simple.
On the eve of Philomena's wedding, the king is brutally assassinated, his heir accused of treason, and Philomena's life thrown into chaos. Philomena and Rainhart flee the king's betrayers, trading the world of palaces and gowns for one of danger and fear.
Far from home and surrounded by people who want them dead, they must attempt to right a wrong that has angered even the old magic sleeping beneath the ground.
They'll have to work together if they want to survive.
But, they can barely stand each other, and Philomena has secrets of her own, that if discovered could cost the alliance, her position, and the person who has captured her heart.

But fate rips him away from the girl he truly loves-a calm, gentle soul who has always been his safe place. The future bride was meant for his younger brother, Edwin. But Edwin's reckless choices have left him trapped in scandal, forced to marry the girl he accidentally ruined. Now the duty falls on Peter. The girl from the future is nothing like the woman Peter lost. She's reckless, wild, and refuses to obey. She doesn't want this marriage. She doesn't want this kingdom. And she will fight with tricks, lies, and fire to break free-while sparks between her and Peter grow dangerously out of control. He has his promise. She has her rebellion. And the kingdom has secrets that could burn them all.

When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners.

As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom.
