Following the conditions of a contract between herself and Winter, Penelope is once again leaving the duchy! She joins the marquis for volunteer work in a war-stricken nation, and while their time there is hectic, the two are able to grab a moment alone at the seaside. But the couple’s peace is shattered when they learn sorcerer children have been kidnapped! In the face of Penelope’s desperation to save them, Winter’s calm approach to the situation has the duke’s daughter suspecting that everything is not as it seems...
Life in hard mode for “villain” Penelope Eckhart means with every step forward, she’s shoved five steps back. Just as things were looking (relatively) better between her and the brothers, she finds herself coming to blows with Reynold, who insists on dredging up the past—an affront Penelope won’t take lying down. To make matters worse, she ends up attending the hunting tournament hosted by the crown prince, and Callisto + weapons = a recipe for DANGER...!
Penelope and Callisto safely escaped the assassins, but Callisto is left in mortal danger and Penelope...is standing trial for murder?! Accused of murdering seven nobles during the Hunt, she faces a court proceeding that’s in actuality nothing more than an elaborate sham to frame her. With false testimonies filling the courtroom and Callisto unable to take the stand, will Penelope make it out alive...?
