Aurelia, the first princess born in Renalt in 200 years, is destined to marry the mysterious prince of Achelva, Valentin, but her treacherous lady-in-waiting, Lisette, plots to take her crown. Princess Aurelia is the heir that nobody wants. Surrounded by spirits, banned from using her blood-magic, and facing a forced marriage, Aurelia flees her country after an assassination attempt. She disguises herself as a commoner in a new land and discovers a happiness her crown has never allowed. Forging new bonds and perfecting her magic, she begins to fall for a man who is forbidden to rule beside her. But the ghosts that haunt Aurelia refuse to abandon her, and she finds herself succumbing to their call as they expose a nefarious plot that only she can defeat. -- adapted from jacket.
