Publisher's Synopsis
When Princess Kailani is attacked in her very own bed chamber, seventeen-year-old Evangeline risks everything to keep her best friend safe. Everyone knows that Evangeline is the main serving girl to Princess Kailani, heir to Keldan's throne. However, only a select few know that Evangeline is also a trained bodyguard, ready to give her life to protect the princess she has come to call her best friend. When an attack inside the castle sends the royal family and their closest confidants reeling, Evangeline, Kailani, and Evangeline's crush, Hal, set off on a journey to hide out until all is safe. While Kailani works at an inn, learning about the simpler life of those without royal blood, Evangeline keeps up correspondence with the king and continues her training with Hal, while trying to ignore the warm feelings he brings forth. When a second attacker finds them, Evangeline must come to terms with the fact that someone close to the king is out to kill the princess...but who is it and why do they want her dead? Evangeline has no choice but to go back, call out the traitor, and throw herself into battle in order to keep the princess alive. But can she defeat a foe who may be stronger than she is?
