On her sixteenth birthday, Ellie Lyons discovers her entire life has been a lie. She’s kidnapped from her home and left in Alladon, a kingdom controlled by an evil man named Morfan, a kingdom that she was born to rule.
Ellie reluctantly
faces the impossible tasks confronting her; like learning to control the magic
that now roars through her and burns everything she touches, training to become
a lethal warrior, or dealing with the fact that Devin, the guy she is irresistibly
attracted to, is actually one of the assassins sent by Morfan to kill her.
Devin has a troubled
past; he has spent the last five years tracking the person who murdered his
family. He is dark, dangerous, and deadly serious, but Ellie can see the core
of kindness shining deep within him, as well as the fear of getting hurt again
that makes him push people away. Though Ellie knows her life might be at stake,
she can’t seem to stay away from him, even as her feelings become strong enough
that they begin to scare her.
Vance, the second
assassin and Devin’s best friend, is the opposite of Devin; blonde, charming,
seductive. But his heart holds a kernel of darkness, one that makes him
dangerously unstable, especially after he realizes that he has feelings for
Ellie, feelings he knows Ellie doesn’t share.
Ellie can’t let her
emotions for the two men cloud her focus, her quest to remove Morfan from
power. When Ellie discovers that the children of Alladon have been
imprisoned in a secret factory, Ellie knows she can’t fight her destiny any
longer. She must claim her rightful place as princess and fight Morfan, or
surrender and be slaughtered. Will she be able to survive long enough to save
her people from the Darkness?
