Kascia is desperate. Terrified after the king's assassination, this leading contender for the prince's hand is hurt and confused when the prince withdraws all attention and affection. Can she risk approaching him when it could result in her execution? Struggling to keep her heart from shattering again, Kascia desperately searches for a way around the rules. But at every turn, instead of ways to safely reach her prince, Kascia uncovers dangerous plots from the royal court, the other Chosen, and even dark forces outside of the palace.

The Enthronement is down to fifteen girls, all determined to fight to win the competition and Prince Gavril's affection. The next round of tests will try the girls more intensely than anything they've faced yet. Four foreign nations are sending delegations to negotiate new trade deals with the royal family. And the Chosen Ladies of the Enthronement will play hostesses.

She must find her conviction or be convicted. Kascia Thorapple Custod has done the unthinkable. She betrayed her Custod duty, her father, her former life for a man she can't even be sure she'll win in the end, a man she is still unsure she can trust: the man she came to kill. But was that the right choice? Kascia still isn’t convinced. The truth is the taxes that are slowly killing her people are still in place and she cannot justify it even to herself why.

Kascia is shattered when they ask her to join the Enthronement. She wanted nothing more than her planned out life performing at the theater and marrying the man she'd been betrothed to since she was a young girl. But she's left broken and unsure of her existence when the men in her life, who should have loved her, pressure her to join the Enthronement–a contest to prove one girl a true princess and marry the crown prince–so she can let her father's rebels in to assassinate the royal family.

A greedy dragon. A traitorous royal court. Will they survive this battle or will Kascia lose all she loves? Kascia is ready for war. Having their judgmental fellow royals dismiss their need, Kascia and Gavril set onto the warpath to destroy the dragon that cursed their people. Yet, they face overwhelming opposition. Neighboring kingdoms fight to stop them, their own king and queen fight to convince them to stop, and traitors in their royal court threaten their destruction.

Kascia struggles for air. She knew it would be a hard adjustment, but this is more than she’d bargained for. When a brand-new staff, unexpected wedding arrangements, and royal duties she'd never dreamed of cause Kascia to push Prince Gavril away, her secure position as the winner of the Enthronement is thrown into uncertainty. Fighting to prove she is worthy of being a prophecy princess, Kascia confronts the pressures of planning a royal wedding, dangerous reporters, traitorous past contestants, greedy courtiers, and her darkest secrets coming to light.

A furious king. A treacherous high court. Can their union overcome these dangers or will their kingdom and love die? Kascia is trapped. The Japcharian summit approaches fast, and King Di’s loathing ensures it will not be easy for newly crowned Princess Kascia. When her husband, Prince Regent Gavril, discovers the level of disrespect they show his new princess, all they’ve worked for crumbles. Touched by his devotion to her, Kascia battles with her desire to trust Gavril’s instinct and her need to prove she is the true princess.
