She's an orphan from the lower sect, forcefully taken to the Queen trials-changing her name, she must never let them know who her people are. He's the cursed crown prince with a fondness for tales. A mysterious illness ravages his body as darkness in the inner court threatens to swallow him whole.

Nahara Elsher hadn't ever seen what was behind the Great Wall, but she knew one thing for certain-she loathed the one who sat on the throne. When a royal decree from the late king ordered soldiers to raid homes and take all unmarried maidens to the high sect to be presented before the prince, she witnessed her closest friend get savagely captured.

Whisked away, Nahara found herself battling between hatred and righteousness as she traversed the untouchable high sect with only one goal in mind-to save her best friend. Discovering that there was much more to the palace then it first seemed, she now faces many more questions.

Will the wrath built up inside of her overtake her faith in mercy and love? Or will the stone-cold prince make her risk more than just her identity, but also her heart?
