In a kingdom drowning in blood, all Odyssa Duhiva wants is to save her family.
The kingdom of Veressia has been forsaken by its prince, who has chosen instead to drown out the screams of the dying. Trapped in a kingdom without a leader and blamed by her brothers for her mother's death, Odyssa has little hope of ever succeeding at honoring her mother's dying wish.
Driven by desperation, Odyssa ventures into the heart of the barricaded castle, masquerading as a servant amidst the prince's nightly opulent parties. But as she delves deeper into the castle's secrets, she uncovers a sinister connection between the coward prince and the devastating plague.
After attracting the attention of the prince's most trusted advisor, Odyssa finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of power and deceit. With each step closer to the truth, she realizes that her fate-and the fate of her family-rests in the hands of the handsome stranger whose true intentions for betraying his prince and helping her seem content to remain shrouded in mystery.
As forbidden passions ignite, tentative alliances are forged, and dark secrets are revealed, Odyssa must choose between following her heart or sacrificing it for the promise of salvation.
But the price of salvation may be higher than she ever imagined.
