Exiled since childhood, Queen Opheya Hareave has spent years dreaming of reclaiming her war-torn kingdom of Algadur. Now, with her father gone and her mother ruling in her stead, the time has come for Opheya to return home — but not without allies strong enough to keep her throne.
Her betrothed, Prince Welim Farrin of Rihan, is her clearest hope for alliance. Yet Rihan's court is a nest of secrets, and its King plays a dangerous game with his sons' future.
As whispers of succession threaten the balance of power, and an ambitious vizier moves in the shadows, Opheya finds herself caught between loyalty, love, and survival.
War is coming.
And to win it, Opheya will have to learn the true Price of Power.
