Fleeing persecution by troublemakers who have entrenched themselves in the leadership of a magical school, Neil—a third-year student—takes a temporary job with the Trading Company during the Tournament of Suitors it is hosting. He hopes for temporary shelter, but the one who “reads emotions” is unexpectedly assigned as the bodyguard of the tournament’s main prize: the green-eyed bride. She’s always in plain sight, which makes it hard not to notice the boy as well. Especially since passions around the bride begin to boil—not exactly of the romantic kind… Neil manages to prevent several assassination attempts on the girl, but his enemies have no intention of backing down. The situation around the Tournament grows more heated every hour, and the bodyguard’s thoughts keep returning to the same question: are those mysterious enemies really trying to kill her?
