But deep down, Brienna knows her place at the prestigious passion-house wasn’t earned through sheer talent. Instead, she is there because someone wished her to be.

As Brienna uncovers secrets buried in her own bloodline, she finds herself entangled in a plot to restore a long-lost queen to her rightful throne.
