Nesryn is a Chosen. One of the twelve noble born women handpicked to serve by the cruel and mysterious King Barilius. Lysan is Barilius' Second. A young, powerful shadowcaster with a steeled heart and fractured past. But when this season's set of trials turn sinister, Nesryn realises the Choosing is not quite as glamorous as she'd been told, while Lysan learns that even the king has his secrets. Love, Magic, and Loss await them both. Twelve women enter the Choosing, but there can only be one to claim the Chosen title.
