Seventeen-year-old Keralie may seem harmless, but she’s, one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. They both find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead. The two decide to join forces to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives. When their reluctant partnership blooms into a tenuous romance, they must overcome their own dark secrets in hopes of a future together. But first they have to stay alive and untangle the secrets behind the nation’s four dead queens.
