A mysterious letter destroyed in fire.

Urgent whispers and sideways glances.

And a sinister stranger in the crowd.

Evie had always suspected that her uncommon marriage with a prince was doomed from the start. She had no idea how terribly it could all go wrong.

Moments before their marriage is sealed, Evie finds herself thrust into the strange between-realm of Runehaven. As she begins to unravel its dark secrets and the true powers governing it, Evie is alarmed to find memories of her past life quickly slipping away. If she is to escape, she will have to rely on wit and intuition to determine true allies from enemies.

In Windshire, Prince Liam vows to track down Evie’s captor for a final duel. When he stumbles into a plot poised to destroy all of the Westerlands, will he choose to save his beloved city—or Evie? And will his own closest allies stand in his way?

Reconciliation may cost everything they have—and not all will survive.
