She remembers every word. He hears every lie. The cobalt shroud remembers the murder.
Caelia Rusk has survived the Frost Court by remembering exactly what people say and trusting none of it. When a report in her own hand is altered to accuse dragon prince Averin Drae, she is ordered to arrest him before the succession hearing.
Instead, Averin tells her the truth he cannot control: someone inside the queen’s court is rewriting the record to restart a war with the dragons. The evidence is hidden in a ceremonial cobalt shroud, a stolen living scale, and the memory of Sileth, the sentient dragon the court has treated as a legal ornament for fifty years.
To expose the conspiracy, Caelia must enter the palace as a spy without a shield, while Averin must choose whether to inherit the crown that would make the lie disappear. Their alliance becomes dangerous when the queen offers him the throne in exchange for Caelia’s report. Their desire becomes dangerous when every court rule around them assumes a prince’s protection is another name for ownership.
For readers who love court-spy romantasy, dragon princes, hidden conspiracies, sharp heroines, slow-burn trust, open-door fae romance, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
