But the sudden deaths of her parents leaves her unprotected – awash in the dangerous tide of her family’s political rivals. When the supreme council crowns her half-nephew Peter II in her place, Elizabeth is left with no title, no power—and no allies.

But the forces that oppose them are as dark as they are far-reaching–and this time, Elizabeth could lose more than just her title…
