Blackmail. Murder. Betrayal. There isn't anything Teia won't do to stay alive.

An outcast princess in her own kingdom, Teia is half Erisian, half Shaylani, and a formidable opponent who abandoned her morals long ago. She's survived innumerable assassination attempts, all of which have been orchestrated by her half-brother. But once he is crowned king, nothing can save her.

When a rebellion seeks to overthrow the monarchy, Teia grabs at the chance to infiltrate the rebels . . . and trade their lives for her own. But as she gains their trust - and maybe more with surly rebel Tobias - Teia begins to question everything she knows. What if the rebels are right? What if the monarchy should be destroyed?

Or what if Teia took the throne for herself?
