In a land of eternal frost and fragile power, 23-year-old Priscilla is expected to smile, curtsy, and pray she's chosen by a prince she's never met.
But Priscilla has never been one to follow rules.
By day, she's the dutiful daughter from a modest merchant family. By night, she pulls on pants, rallies with rebels, and fights to give the voiceless a future. With the Northern Court's grand ceremony approaching-and two royal suitors arriving to choose their brides-Priscilla's double life is balancing on a blade's edge.
One prince is cold and dismissive. The other watches her too closely. Both seem to hide more than their titles.
When the rebellion she's helped fuel begins to stir beneath the snow, and eyes from the palace start noticing her more than they should, Priscilla must decide what she's truly willing to risk. Her safety. Her heart. Or the future of a kingdom in chains.
Power is a dangerous game. But so is falling in love.
