The half-dragon King of Torva needs a queen, but the human bride he has captured may prove to be more trouble than she's worth. Evelyn is on a mission to find her mom, who left her family soon after Evelyn was born. But things go terribly wrong when crashing a high school graduation party leads to her being mistaken for her sister, kidnapped, taken to another world, and married to the king of the realm. As she plots her escape with the assistance of a handsome and mysterious duke, she becomes a pawn in a bigger game, a game of betrayal, murder, and revenge. Someone wants her dead, and the only way to avoid assassination is to escape Torva. But the King isn't willing to let her leave easily - and neither are the assassins.

Selene has always been more suited to be an assassin than a lady. She’s been granted a mission that other assassins could only dream to kill King Alaric. Once he's dead, the reward money will be enough to escape to a distant country. She soon discovers she's being hunted by Draven, an assassin himself before he turned traitor. She must find and kill him or her life will be forfeit. But first, she has to find a way to evade her annoyingly handsome new guard. To find the Scorpio assassin, Draven goes undercover as a personal guard to Lady Selene. Keeping his heart detached from the mission grows increasingly difficult as he develops an interest in Lady Selene. He hopes for both of their sakes that she isn't the assassin he seeks. If so, he just might have to break his own heart in order to fulfill his duty to the King.
