Adira has dreamed of freedom for as long as she can remember. After eleven years under the oppressive rule of her cruel stepmother and selfish stepsisters, she longs for nothing more than to escape, to travel the world, and to live on her own terms. But when her stepmother cruelly reveals that Adira’s hand has been promised to Prince Rialour—a merciless and power-hungry man bent on war—her hopes for a better life shatter.

​

In a desperate bid to escape, Adira runs straight into the heart of the rogue Keepers, a group of rebels whom the prince has sworn to destroy. Killian, the charismatic yet distrustful leader of the group, is quick to question her motives. But when Adira manages to outwit him, he begins to wonder: Is this elusive girl truly seeking freedom, or does she intend to betray them all to the royal family?

​

Forced to journey together, Adira and Killian must navigate dangerous alliances and growing tensions. As they begin to trust one another, Adira discovers that Killian isn’t as cruel as he seems, and Killian can’t stop thinking about the girl he can’t have. As their bond deepens, they uncover a conspiracy far bigger than either of them ever imagined—and the stakes are higher than they ever feared.
