The people who burned down my old life will regret walking through the ashes. As far as the citizens of Caelumine are concerned, Princess Amelia Deightyn died with the rest of her family in the burning of the Deightyn Kingdom. Roxanna Delamontee couldn’t agree more. The day her family was betrayed by the people they trusted most, her innocence went up in flames, and her identity as Amelia burned with it. She rose from the ashes as Roxanna, and she’s going to show the people who killed her family how it feels to burn. She’s spent years plotting her revenge, and no one can stop her. Or so she believes until she meets four of her enemies, men who are determined to steal her heart while she’s stealing the throne.

Everything isn’t quite what it seems… and I may die because of it. With a target on her back, courtesy of the queen who had her family massacred, and The Culling upon her, things are about to get even harder for Roxanna Delamontee. Not to mention that magic in Caelumine should be dead, but she’s seen evidence of it being very much alive. Then there’s the four royals who seem to be everywhere she looks. Not only are they a distraction, but a direct betrayal to her family, because she’s starting to feel things for these men other than hate. Caught between loyalty and her feelings, Roxanna has to choose whether she can trust the royals, because as it turns out, she just may need them to stay alive. Because how can you reclaim the throne if you’re dead?
