But are they truly willing to do what it takes to save a country-- even if it means losing everything? Held captive within the castle, Veronica desperately plots her escape, along with a most unexpected ally, who may be just as much a prisoner as she is. She soon discovers, however, that nothing is truly as it seems, and that she is being kept for a far more sinister purpose than she ever could have imagined. But will she be able to save herself, and those she loves, before it's too late? In the thrilling conclusion to the beloved Royal Three Trilogy, the fate of a country will be decided, and a single ruler crowned.
