With the amulet still stuck around her neck, Addie must outwit her powerful captors who will do anything to get to the power held within the ancient artifact. If they find out she doesn't know how to use it, she's dead.

Charlie has returned to a kingdom in shambles. With her husband in the dungeons and the most despicable man in the realm in power, she is left with no choice but to continue to play the role that she was given. Living the lie does not come easily, nor without a cost. But she will do anything to save the man she loves and the realm she’s sworn to protect.

She sacrificed her heart in exchange for the fragile peace of her kingdom, but in the wake of their beloved king’s assassination, peace is hard to come by. Threats and conspiracies emerge with every turn, and all the while her wedding looms closer. Between funerals and hangings, coronations and balls, Charlie must find the strength to prove to her people - and to herself - that she can be the queen they need, even though it requires breaking her heart in two.

They say ignorance is bliss. Charlie used to believe that was a lie, but now she’s not so sure. As the truth comes to light, everything Charlie thought she knew, everything she thought she wanted is called into question. Though she manages a daring escape from her captors, the black mark of the Aramach is spreading like wildfire, threatening the fragile peace between Luan and H’Ria. Through it all, Charlie tries to overcome the scars she’s brought back with her to be the leader her people need.
