Until yesterday I was a happy bride—and today I am a rebel in another, unfamiliar world. I’ve been sentenced to death. My life could end in an instant. The king is determined—but I’m not ready to surrender. Let everyone at court wield magic, but I have a more sophisticated weapon: my mind, cunning, and beauty. And if the only chance to survive in this cruel world is to take the throne, then I won’t miss it.
