On her sixteenth birthday, Ellie Lyons
discovers her entire life has been a lie. She’s kidnapped from her home and
left in Alladon, a kingdom controlled by an evil man named Morfan, a kingdom
that she was born to rule.
Ellie reluctantly faces the impossible tasks
confronting her; like learning to control the magic that now roars through her
and burns everything she touches, training to become a lethal warrior, or
dealing with the fact that Devin, the guy she is irresistibly attracted to, is
actually one of the assassins sent by Morfan to kill her.
Devin has a troubled past; he has spent the
last five years tracking the person who murdered his family. He is dark,
dangerous, and deadly serious, but Ellie can see the core of kindness shining
deep within him, as well as the fear of getting hurt again that makes him push
people away. Though Ellie knows her life might be at stake, she can’t seem to
stay away from him, even as her feelings become strong enough that they begin
to scare her.
Vance, the second assassin and Devin’s best
friend, is the opposite of Devin; blonde, charming, seductive. But his heart
holds a kernel of darkness, one that makes him dangerously unstable, especially
after he realizes that he has feelings for Ellie, feelings he knows Ellie
doesn’t share.
Ellie can’t let her emotions for the two men
cloud her focus, her quest to remove Morfan from power. When Ellie
discovers that the children of Alladon have been imprisoned in a secret
factory, Ellie knows she can’t fight her destiny any longer. She must claim her
rightful place as princess and fight Morfan, or surrender and be slaughtered.
Will she be able to survive long enough to save her people from the Darkness?
