Rone expects a glorious return home. Instead, he sits in a dungeon cell. Captured at the gate of his castle, Prince Rone can’t believe what’s happening. He understood he’d have to answer questions, especially about his mate, but he never believed he’d have to face trial. Violet followed her heart when she stepped through a portal to another realm. But now she’ll have to help Rone keep his crown, all the while keeping her heritage a secret. If anyone discovers her powers, it could be the spark that ignites war. Together with Rone’s sister and Violet’s friend, the couple embark on a quest to clear Rone’s name and expose the lies that are stirring the rebellion. But with a villainous mage ahead of them at every turn, trusting anyone proves dangerous. If they fail, thousands will die. If you enjoy the courtly intrigue and larger-than-life characters of King of Scars and the intricate world-building of An Ember in the Ashes, then you’ll love this fantasy adventure.
