Blue de la Cour has her life
planned: hide the magic in her blood and continue trying to turn metal into
gold so she can help her city’s homeless.
Kellan Renard, crown prince of
Balavata, is walking a thin line between political success and devastating
violence. Newly returned from boarding school, he must find a bride among the
kingdom’s head families and announce his betrothal—but escalating violence
among the families makes the search nearly impossible. He’s surprised to
discover that the one person who makes him feel like he can breathe is Blue,
the girl who once ruined all his best adventures.
When mysterious forces lead to
disappearances throughout Balavata, Blue and Kellan must work together to find
the truth. What they discover will lead them to the darkest reaches of the
kingdom, and to the most painful moments of their pasts.
When romance is forbidden and evil
is rising, can Blue save those she loves, even if it costs her everything?
