Alone. Orphaned. Peasant. Everin is the kind of person who should be ignored by the prince and his royal family.

Yet, when his family is unjustly slaughtered by mage hunters, it's her the prince needs. Despite their differences, the same illegal magic flows through their veins. And others will kill for this power.

Their last hope for escape is a tome forgotten by time-if they can only find the book's missing pages before they're hunted like animals.

But not everything is as it seems. When Everin uncovers a deadly secret, she must choose to reject or embrace her most dangerous self.
