Description

A mysterious scourge is sweeping across the continent of Panellas, stripping common fae of their magic without warning. The affected are taken away, never to be seen or heard from again. While the ruling elite are content to sit by, Princess Maevery of Fenshegus demands action. What's a princess to do except found a secret society to aid those in need. On the outside she may seem to be a prim and proper princess; on the inside, she's doing everything she can to subvert the laws until she can change them. But only months away from her twenty-fifth birthday and the throne she has spent her life preparing for, nothing is going according to plan. The closer she gets to her coronation, the more she feels like a spectator in her own life, guided by a regent who insists on shielding her from the burdens of leadership.

An upcoming continent wide meeting of leaders was meant to be her debut, yet it quickly becomes a political trap. To claim her throne, an archaic law demands she be married-forcing Maevery into an arranged union with Prince Conaill, a male who is as infuriatingly arrogant as he is undeniably handsome. What began as a volatile first meeting turns into a high-stakes alliance to unearth a traitor in their midst. Caught between her duty, her parents' legacy, and a growing bond with the prince she was commanded to marry, Maevery must find her own voice before the crown is placed on her head.
