"The only animal I'm truly scared of is the one that stays hidden inside of me." Princess Arden struggles with the death of her father, King Nolan, alongside her mother, who has decided overnight that it is best to move on and think about the kingdom's future. Only days after her father is buried deep within the soil of the castle grounds, Queen Olivia plans to host a Cinderella type of party to determine the next husband to her, step father to Arden, and king of Nighthale. When Arden finds out that the new king, King Frederick, has two sons the same age as her, she begins to open up to them, her mother begins to quickly distance herself from Arden, and secrets are unveiled - including the fact that Arden, unbeknownst to anyone, is a vampire.
