Sex. Politics. Swords. A winning combination. But not if you're the Heir...

Deor is doing what she can to learn Winter Court politics, starting with a delightfully sexy affair with Rafe, the king's recently un-fianced right hand man. Fun and excitement with no strings attached. What could be better?

When the king announces a Royal Tournament only a few months away, Deor knows it's an irrational, stupid, expensive idea, but she can't help but be a little bit excited, too. She's sure that Rafe will look good on a horse, sword in hand. Rafe, too, delights in the idea that he might pin Deor's sleeve to his armor and fight for his lady.

Besides, no one knows that they're having an affair.

But the king's irrationality is spinning out of control as the Winter Court faces military threats from the Summer Court, failing crops, and an increasingly rebellious population. Unwilling or unable to face the truth about his rule, the king lashes out at all around him, especially his heir.

Rafe and Deor aren't the only ones who know the nation is in trouble. The palace itself confides in Deor, begging her to save it, and the kingdom, from her father's narcissistic reign. Staying quiet won't help, and speaking up might get her killed. And if the king finds out about the affair, well, Deor might find out what the Tower of London looks like from the inside.
