No matter which side of the coin she's on, Star is destined to lose everything she loves. To keep Sector Eleven in his bloodline, Jaden has to marry a pure witch. Born into the Regency, his challenge is to find a wife who satisfies his mother's criteria while also managing to love him. Easier said than done when ambition supersedes the connection of hearts in a love mandate. When Jaden asks Star to help him find a suitable mate, she agrees, but her heart doesn't want any part of it. Forced to serve the Regency since she was born, Star has been raised to hide her magical ability from Jaden and his mother, for fear the Regent would carry out her promise to destroy Star if she ever showed a propensity for magic. Star is not sure which is worse, exposing her secrets to the man she loves which will have her exiled to the ravagers, and certain death, or playing matchmaker and losing Jaden to someone else. No matter which side of the coin she's on, she's destined to lose everything she cares about.
