As she learns more about who she truly is and the legacy of her family, she’s forced to answer three questions.
Can she save the king of Gaule?
Can he be trusted if she does?

When he learns the truth of the mysterious hooded figure, how far will he go to save a woman who deceived him?
Like father, like daughter.
Amalie Leroy could never escape the legacy of her traitorous father. But maybe they weren’t as different as they seemed.
She once had everything she thought she wanted, but it wasn’t enough - not when her people suffered under the thumb of the crown.
So, she gave it up. She let her prince go, choosing the life of an outlaw over him.
And now he’s coming for her. No, not as the boy who loved her, but as an agent of the crown to hunt her down.
