In a kingdom where secrets are currency and trust is a luxury, Elara Nightshade has always followed her father's rules for successful espionage: trust no one, always have an escape route, and never get caught.
Until she does.
When Elara discovers evidence of treason in a high lord's study, she finds herself face-to-face with Prince Darian of Morvain-the kingdom's sworn enemy. But instead of exposing her, he reveals a shocking truth: his father is being slowly poisoned, and he suspects Aurenthia's queen is behind it.
As the Spymaster's daughter and a foreign prince forge an unlikely alliance, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens both their kingdoms. Queen Lysandra, originally from the Southern Isles, has been orchestrating a complex plot to weaken both nations from within, using Elara's own mother's botanical research as her weapon.
With time running out and invasion looming, Elara and Darian must navigate court intrigue, betrayal, and their growing feelings for each other. When their investigation puts innocent lives at risk, Elara makes the ultimate sacrifice-offering herself as a hostage to the enemy to secure peace.
But Prince Darian isn't about to let the woman he loves remain a prisoner, even if rescuing her means risking everything they've fought to protect.
In a world where crowns cast the darkest shadows, sometimes the most dangerous move is following your heart.
