A mage. A knight. A destiny...
When the Orcs lay siege to the Eyre, Evalyn's family are murdered, and she finds herself the last surviving heir to the kingdom of Arogath. She has no choice but to flee the only place she's called home. With Felix, a sworn bodyguard by her side, she desperately seeks refuge.
It's not long before Evalyn discovers the brutal lengths the Orcs will go to in order to expand their territory, and with her people's lives at stake, she is forced to unearth a long since buried magic. As she grapples to control her volatile powers and fill the role of queen, enemies rise in all corners of the kingdom-some with carefully curated disguises. And they are much closer than she thought.
Despite it all, Felix remains a constant. Her childhood friend, her loyal protector. With a war raging around them, she finds herself falling for him. And the cost of saving her people from a terrible fate might just be her heart.
