Every kingdom needs an heir to the throne; one to carry on the family legacy and to continue the rule of their father. But what happens when there are multiple heirs? What happens when jealousy and mistrust overtake love and destroy bonds that were once thought unbreakable?
With the death of her parents, Princess Neveah finds herself facing an uncertain future when her brother announces his claim to the throne. The siblings, though grieved, adjust well in their parent's absence. However, in the months following their death, older brother Jayben begins to grow paranoid. He begins to put restrictions on Neveah, and orders her to be guarded at all times. Finally, his paranoia overwhelms him; he plans to kill her. But when the time comes, he cannot bear to see her die. Instead, he sells her to pirates, knowing that she will not last long at sea.
Neveah was devastated. Her last remaining family member had turned on her, and she feared that death would take her before the month was out. However, after two weeks at sea, her hope was restored. The infamous Captain Slay took over the ship on which she was being held, and he and his men killed the pirates and rescued Neveah and the other children onboard. Months later, she was reunited with her fiance; a prince to which she'd been betrothed years previously. Bidding Elias farewell, she chose to journey with Prince Reis of Sevyria and his sister Rose.
However, Reis carries a dark secret; one that pursues him wherever he goes. Will Neveah find out the truth before it is too late?
