Alairiss is the best pit fighter Aventera has to offer, but it's not enough for her. She would always want revenge. Revenge for the horrors that had befallen her family and for the life she would never have. When presented with an opportunity, she takes a risk that ends with the royal family choosing her to marry their third son. She is supposed to appease dissenters of the Barthel reign of terror, but instead finds herself deep in a plot to assassinate the king. The key in these plans; the youngest prince. To save the nation she will have to make him fall for her, which may prove to be her most difficult fight yet
