One love betrayed her
Another threatens what's left of her heart
Can she survive?

Five hundred years of civil war have torn the once beautiful coastal kingdom of Purerah apart. Oppressive, heavy taxes have the people warring for change. For the royal family, that change is The Enthronement. A series of tests where fifty girls will come to the palace to prove themselves a true princess. She who proves true will marry Prince Gavril, the crown prince. But for those who want to overthrow the royal family, The Enthronement is a means to an end.

Kascia Thorapple Custod is a young talented actress who just wants her theater life, but her father has other plans. To please him and fulfill her family's ancient duty, she must give up her life and her first and only love to enter The Enthronement so they can remove the corrupt royals once and for all.
But can she pretend to love a man she hates? Can she stay in the contest long enough to fulfil her father's plan? Or will she lose everything, including the last part of her heart?

Fans of The Custod Chronicles will find familiar yet new adventures in this series set in the same universe.
