Hours away from her coronation, Kambry receives a demand that will challenge her skills as queen of Kavin Wood: Keep King Russal from facing his arch enemy Felip Covey until the time is right.

No small task when she also has to watch her own back after her sybil informs her she can expect a woman to conspire against her. Not just any woman, but one she trusts. With nothing else to go on, she looks on every friend with suspicion.

And the king's greatest traitor with rising trust.

Keeping Covey away from the king is challenging, considering she can't keep the man from showing up to whisper in her ear at every turn. He warns her repeatedly she should not trust the king, the man she just married.

Can she figure out which man deserves to be king? Will Kavin magic be a source of strength or the cause of her confusion? Which woman schemes to steal her power from her? Which man serves the kingdom with greater loyalty?

She will have to fight to save...
