To save my kingdom, I was traded as a bride… but I will not serve. I will reign. To strengthen our kingdom, my father needs magic, and the wicked Crimson King has agreed to share it with us—for a price. After my father trades my hand in marriage for this magic, I try to be the obedient daughter he expects me to be, knowing that this is what’s right for my kingdom. But when the Crimson King sends his prized gladiator, Caspian, to protect me until the wedding day, my heart begins to waver. When my future husband finally arrives and forces Caspian to fight to the death in the gladiator arena, I struggle with realizing my true feelings—because watching the man who holds my heart battle for his life makes my soul ache… Now, I must choose between following my heart or abiding by my father’s plans.
