"Say one word and I will leave you alone from now on," he murmured, "I won't object." He brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, his touch unexpectedly soft on her skin. "But if you're interested, if you want to know more, say so." He let his finger travel down her cheek to her jaw, grazing her throat and leaving a burning trail on her body, and Cora parted her lips to breathe out a reply. "Please?" "Please what?" Harry asked, whispering into her ear, way closer to her than he'd ever been before.

Alouette's hand clenches around the letter opener. The two guards at the other end of the room step forward, ready to intervene, but Harry halts them with a raise of his hand. "Don't worry."

But soon she's thrown into the fancy life of the Palace, where deals are made in gold and tailor-made suits are as important as not forgetting your own name. When she and Harry cross paths, she discovers he isn't like she expected him to be - he's better, and so much worse. She was sent there to destroy him, but soon he finds a way into her mind and soul and she ends up tangled in a web of mysteries and lies, and her only way out is Harry.
