But outside the castle walls, she's just a kitchen maid to Ishmo Lyf, a common boy she's grown to love. Fearing the potential conscription of Ishmo into a war that men rarely survive, she offers him her heart in the secrecy of the woods, hoping to experience a stolen taste of true love before being shackled in a political marriage.

But destiny has other plans. On the eve of her twentieth birthday, Ara is named her father's heir believing she has inherited her mother's terrifying magic--a power Ara has yet to discover.

Ara's newfound magic could be the key to salvation or the catalyst to their downfall. Can they navigate their forbidden love and the trials of the kingdom, or will their passion set the world ablaze?
