Idra is noble by birth, lady-in-waiting to the future High Queen of the Twelve Realms, and ordinary in every other way.

Since birth, her life has been pledged in service to the crown. Thus, she’s never sought attention or allowed herself to dream of a different path. Buried somewhere deep inside, Idra is restless, but at twenty-three she knows there’s very little chance of things changing.

But when a man from her past keeps a promise she knows nothing about, Idra’s mettle will be tested beyond anything she’s ever experienced. Because of his revenge, Idra is torn from the only life she knows and faced with a future no one should ever have to endure. All she has left is a little faith and a sliver of hope, but is it enough?
