A handsome prince…

A forced marriage…

A cursed ring

Hounded by doubts of her legitimacy—and her place in line for the throne—Princess Talina of Olmstead spends her days in the forge, learning to become an artificer, eager to avoid both courtly gossip and the high expectations of her father, the fearsome King Amonrew.

Meanwhile, Talina’s older sister, Ria, is suddenly single after a broken treaty ends her decades-long engagement to Prince Marius of Tocchia. Talina can no longer avoid her father’s attempts at matchmaking. The Spring Banquet is in full force, the suitors are aggressive, and the castle is under siege. Prince Marius has come to collect his bride. Bonds are broken, and a deal is struck.

Desperate to avoid war, Ria follows Marius to Tocchia. Under the guise of Ria’s personal maid, Talina joins her sister, and finds herself thrust into a world of magic, mystery, and prophecy.

Most maddening of all is Marius. Talina should hate him for stealing her sister away. But she finds herself drawn further into his web when he proposes a bargain she can’t resist.

Why does she want him so badly? And what is he hiding?
