"Oh, and Happy Birthday."
Those were the words that punctuated Merinley being sold to traders from Realta. Betrayed and wary of her future, she knew she had to protect herself by hiding her true self, her fae ancestry and abilities. Little did she know more changes and more secrets lay in her path.
Though she thought her life was meant for servitude, she found herself among the most secretive and desired group in Realta's palace; a position of duty over heart. A position that led to a chance encounter with Captain Felix Wade, a pirate who made her feel things she had been trained not to. That same night, she found herself in a surprise engagement to King Talbot, a tyrannical ruler who cared for nothing but himself. Her heart became pitted against her sense of duty as these two men, these events, led to secrets that could overthrow a kingdom.
