Valeria arrives at the ball in search of a lord who would agree to a formal marriage. To get her sister back—abducted by the rulers of a foreign world—she must reach the king with a title. And it doesn’t matter how many hearts she breaks on her way. But what should a run-of-the-mill girl do when ambitious gentlemen and cunning mages appear on her path?

Especially since the interests of those men are absolutely not… material.
