A short time after arriving in the city of Darkania, Silvia had the misfortune of falling under the King's watch. Now that she's staying at the palace, her troubles are only getting more complicated. Caught between an intense hatred for King Gregorich and her need for getting close to him for her own purposes, Silvia has to tread carefully to keep suspicion at bay. As the days pass by, she learns more and more about the man who ran her parents off the throne-including a secret about those involved in the Lordalen War which would jeopardize her kingdom. But when a servant betrays her, the identity Silvia is using as her disguise is compromised, and she is cornered by a king who is determined to have her as his own.
