Love for her sister competes with love for her king.
Ten years ago, Igraine Valencia escaped an arranged marriage and fled to Camelot. After Morgan Le Fay rescued her from the streets, Igraine climbed to an enviable position: apprentice to famous mages, handmaid to the princess, and companion to the prince.
Shortly after Igraine gains favor with Prince Uther Pendragon, letters arrive—one with news of the king’s death, and the other announcing her ten-year-old sister Bridget’s marriage to the same man Igraine left. Though still reeling from her sister’s fate, Igraine’s dreams come true when Uther, now king, chooses her as his bride.
Igraine is unprepared for the web of kingdom politics. Councilmen who once ignored her now fix their attention on the servant-turned-queen, and her closely guarded secrets begin to unravel. Igraine desperately fights to save her sister through whatever means possible… including magic usage Morgan would never approve.
In a time when women are considered property and a queen’s authority comes from her king, Igraine is forced to confront the truth: Love is a luxury, and her powers are nothing without control.
How far will Igraine go to save Bridget, and will her marriage to Uther survive?
