She's been offered a crown but taking it could cost her everything...Lady Sophie Mackenzie might be fifth in line to the Anglion throne but she never wanted to rule. But she's bound to a demon, gifted with forbidden magic, and under threat from those who would use her unusual power for themselves. And now her hopes of finding peace in exile have been shattered by visions of a terrible darkness gnawing at the heart of her homeland.Then the emperor of Illvya makes her an offer she can't refuse-return home and overthrow the queen of Anglion, or lose everything she holds dear. To face down the darkness and save her husband and everyone she loves, she may have to betray the country-and the queen-she once served and play the games of power she never wanted any part of. But can she play them to win...

She ran to save her life. Now what . . .Lady Sophia Mackenzie has left almost everything behind. Her country. Her family. Her trust in the queen she suspects tried to kill her. All she has left is her own fledgling magic and her new husband, Cameron. But having fled Anglion to stay alive, she now has to learn how to face the dangers and temptations of Illvya, a land where the magic they practice is everything she's been raised to fear.To those who rule Illvya-the mages with their demon familiars and the parliament-having an unbound royal witch like Sophie in their midst is to some an unparalleled opportunity and to others an unbearable threat. As factions form around them, Sophia and Cameron struggle to navigate the intrigues and repercussions of their flight from Anglion. Illvya seeks to control them and Anglion may well still be trying to kill them. As their choices close in around them and Sophia begins to discover the potential of her powers, their bond-both magical and emotional-is pushed to the limit. In the end, in order to survive, Sophia will have to decide between loyalty and destiny and hope the price of her choice is one she can bear to pay . . .
