The blood of kings runs through her veins.

​

Riona's life was decided for her from the moment she was born. As niece of the king, she would fulfill her duty to the kingdom by marrying a foreign royal, a man she did not love. Yet after the horrors she witnessed during the Beltharan civil war, she will no longer allow the court to treat her like a pawn. 

​

This is her home. Her kingdom. No suitor, no arranged marriage, will take that away from her.

​

Prince Auberon will do anything to help his brother win Lady Riona's hand in marriage...but he suspects the king is hiding something sinister behind his kind smiles and extravagant banquets. When a powerful member of the court is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Riona and Auberon forge a tentative alliance to uncover the corruption in the Rivosi court.
