Trapped in her life as a servant in a magicless kingdom, Anslee yearns for the freedom she felt roaming the woods as a child. Convinced marrying a nobleman is her only way out, she should be ecstatic when she catches the eye of new-in-town Lord Avery Varrock. But this lord has brought more than riches to town - and his revelations will turn Anslee's life upside down. When she finds the kingdom's hidden crown - one with a hefty reward for returning it - the crown calls to her with magic that she swore didn't exist. Anslee must find the courage to face the truth she has uncovered - or return to her hidden life. Facing dangerous shadow beasts, lies and half-truths, set amidst dazzling palace balls, moody woods and woefully banal corridors, Anslee's world becomes one where shadows are best left untouched and crowns should remain hidden.
