Synopsis
Corene, a princess of Welce, wants the throne of a foreign empire and sees marriage as the way to it. She stows away on a ship bound for Malinqua with her bodyguard Foley, hoping to marry one of the empress's nephews. In the empress's court she finds unexpected friendship with the other foreign princesses who have been brought there with the same hope. But the court turns out to be deadly, the empress's heirs are not what they seem, and the visiting princesses are effectively held hostage. Corene must rely on her new friends and on Foley as she looks for a way to survive and to get what she came for.
