Publisher's Synopsis
My father, the king, has condemned my friend Lestra to death for treason, and I've joined with her brother Slaine, the most beautiful male Enestian I've ever seen, to save her. Although even being seen with him is forbidden, for Lestra and the promise I made to my brother, I'm willing to take the risk. But time is short, and if we're caught, we'll be labeled traitors and executed. To enlist help for our daring rescue, Slaine leads me into a dark, dangerous underworld where an uprising against the crown is brewing. And if the rebels discover I'm Princess Murelle, even Slaine's status as a commander and vow to protect me with his life might not save me.
