It was just a dance. But in Caelan, dancing changes everything.
Especially if you're a princess.
Princess Ilani is cursed. She can no longer dance, and is therefore considered worthless. Forgotten. Invisible.
Until her twelve sisters are trapped in a deadly game with a breathtaking prize-a royal bride and an empire for the taking, if a man is willing to risk everything for a chance to win.
Only Ilani can see the sinister forces at work behind the scenes and the danger lurking beneath the smiles of the court. But who will listen to a cursed princess? No one, that's who. No one except a strangely compelling foreigner, whose motives remain shrouded in secrecy and mistrust.
As darkness gathers and deadly plans come to light, a fierce princess and a dangerously charming spy may be the only ones who can save both their kingdoms from the malice and magic of a treacherous adversary.
