In a kingdom full of deadly secrets, the most dangerous thing she can do is fall in love.
Abri has stared death and danger in the face, somehow managing to survive each encounter. However, her latest savior is the most dangerous man she’s met. Before he will allow her to leave, she faces a choice. Defect and spy for the enemy kingdom, or go back to simply surviving. If she accepts, she must attend Piquory War College, an elite, all-male academy where one wrong step means discovery and the king’s gallows.
Disguised and desperate, Abri fights for her life against those who want to see her fail. However, the real threat isn't the brutal training, the bullies in her classes, or the dangerous spy missions. It’s the man who sent her here.
Every interaction with her handler sparks feelings she can’t allow to exist. As dark secrets simmer between two kingdoms on the brink of war, Abri is caught in a deadlier crossfire. A mission that demands everything from her, and the danger of the man who is beginning to command her heart.
