One of the few humans at the palace, Lieke has served the royal family her whole life, enjoying their protection from the fae who hate her kind. Unfortunately, nothing could protect her heart from falling in love with her best friend-the prince. Even if he returned her love, he could never marry a human, let alone a servant. But holding onto her mother's words that love can conquer all, she refuses to give up, no matter the costs. As the crown prince, Connor is preparing to be king and doing his best to rebuild the king's armies and neutralize a rebel threat.

When Lieke finds herself sentenced to death for murdering a fae noble, she's shocked to see it's the older brother-Connor-who steps in to save her. And not in the way she expected.
