She will rise. Kingdoms will crumble.

Abandoned by her human father to be raised among the fae healers of Duje, half-breed Katya prefers to keep to the shadows and far away from her stepfather's cane. When he is suddenly called to court, her stepfather forces Katya to come along and spy on the crown. His instructions are simple: watch, listen, and don't get killed.

But nothing about court life is simple, and Katya soon finds herself thrust into the center of a political storm, her every move monitored by the prince's fearsome head of guard, Aemon Cregg.

Aemon is as deadly as he is beautiful. He's also cocky, hotheaded, and intent on infuriating Katya any chance he gets. But though he sets her temper aflame, the heat that burns between them is undeniable.

Yet even Aemon can't protect her when the king calls for Katya's arrest. Terrified and alone, she taps into a forbidden magic to escape. Now, she's running for her life, and Aemon is hot on her trail.

But in the depths of the mountains, an even more insidious threat awaits them both, one that will bring into question everything Katya thought she knew about her kingdom, her people and herself.
