Ellody is walking in dangerous territory. The attack on the castle has brought more questions than answers and visits from ghosts of people long passed. She wants to figure out the mysteries unfolding before it's too late, but she also can't ignore the growing feelings she has for Prince Elliot. But it's a turbulent time at the castle, with the Queen being pregnant and Prince Clark being in a coma. The men are going away more frequently to secure allies in the potential for a war or uprising to begin, leaving the women to secure the fold and gather answers of their own. The more Ellody digs, the more she's unsettled as things aren't what they seem. And more signs are pointing towards what happened to her sister all those years ago. . .
