Once more, Ellie Kate Marchand finds herself pitted against King Richard of Trenway, only this time on the other side of a battlefield, reluctantly thrust back into the arms of her former fiancé, Prince Fillip of the House Westenra. To risk upsetting him is to risk death, and both Ellie and Liam know this. When Fillip confesses that he knew of his father's plot to kill Ellie, she knows she can no longer trust him, but she also has no other choice. Trapped and torn, Ellie faces a war on two fronts, neither of which she is sure to win. And on the night of the one-hundredth year of Westenra rule, the Cendrillon, Ellie must make a choice and take a great risk. However, she is surprised when Fillip makes a bold move that could change everything.
