During the betrothal ball of Duchess Tandanea and Prince Davian, a poisonous rumor makes its way through the Royal Circle. Despite Tandy's innocence, not even her soon to be husband believes her. She is sent far away to a reform school where she is isolated from the Circle and completely abandoned by her closest friends and even her family. Within the Royal Circle, Prince Davian is forced to lead the kingdom long before he is scheduled to adopt the throne at a young age. With the King enjoying wine, women, and parties with increasing dependence, Davian has no choice but to try and hold the kingdom together himself. With Tandy's arrival back into the Royal Circle and their wedding date approaching, Davian and Tandy are faced with uncovering the hidden truths within the castle. Between Tandy's seven year long isolation and Davian's early rise to the throne, the pair are unsure if their love was ever real or if their marriage will fail. Within moments of Davian seeing Tandy once again, he realizes the rumors of Tandy were false and he will do everything in his power to find out why the lies were spread in the first place. As they uncover the truth, it is obvious that not even time and solitude could destroy the connection they once had. As Davian and Tandy rebuild their relationship, the once joyful Royal Circle becomes a dangerous place full of deceit and corruption. With Tandy's training from the reform school and Davian's leadership skills, they will stop at nothing to protect their subjects from the evil that lurks within.
