Begging handsome Prince Bastien Larelwynn to spare her friend's life, the fire in Grace's blood calls to him. She's sure she'll be thrown in the dungeon too. But Bastien tells no one.

And Grace has to trust him with more than her life when she discovers the Queen's devastating plan, using the mageborn's stolen powers. But with her own magic growing, can Grace really trust her former enemy... and with betrayal at every turn, will they survive long enough to save the mageborn?
