To save her kingdom, a simple village girl must live a royal lie.

The powerful kingdom of Sigurd has slowly been conquering all the lands that share its borders, and now it has turned its voracious attention to the small, resource-rich Tyr. Tyr cannot hope to match Sigurd in strength, so in order to survive, it must rely on the intelligence, skill and cunning of its prince and his loyal knights. But should their prince fall, so too shall Tyr...

Queen Mariam and the people of Asha have seized the upper hand against Lord Gleb and his Siguardian troops in the fight for their freedom-but just when it looks as though victory is within their grasp, Emperor Dimitri himself arrives with reinforcements. If Freya is to have any hope of helping her people win this battle, she'll need to escape the clutches of the Indigo Knight before it's too late.
