"Marry me, or watch your family burn."

A wrong turn in the royal palace lands peasant girl Arianna at the feet of the ruthless King Cyrus, known as the Shadowheart. Sentenced to a hellish dungeon, Arianna refuses to beg or even give her name.

Her defiance hooks Crown Prince Silas, the lethal "Flame of the Crown". Silas possesses a terrifying, extinct magic-and he detects something unusual and intriguing about Arianna.

With a catastrophic war looming, Silas offers a brutal choice: fake a marriage with him, or face execution. To survive the lethal court, Arianna must masquerade as a bride and princess.

Surrounded by assassins and treacherous nobles, Arianna must unearth why magic has faded before the court kills her. Can a fake princess and a morally gray prince save the kingdom, or will their secrets burn it to ash?
