I am the illegitimate daughter of the ruler of our chancellery. My younger brother was supposed to become the rightful heir to the throne, but he disappeared. And now I am my father’s only hope. However, he can make me the heir only after he subjects me to a questionable, dangerous ritual that lifts the sin of illegitimacy, and then marries me off to a questionable, dangerous mage.
I ran away. Who will find me first: my father or my prospective husband?
