When King Jameson declares his love for Lady Hollis Brite, Hollis is shocked—and thrilled. After all, she’s grown up at Keresken Castle, vying for the king’s attention alongside other daughters of the nobility. Capturing his heart is a dream come true.
But Hollis soon realizes that falling in love with a king and being crowned queen may not be the happily ever after she thought it would be. And when she meets a commoner with the mysterious power to see right into her heart, she finds that the future she really wants is one that she never thought to imagine.

This storyline threw me a little & made me think of how these girls were brought up just to be there for the king as prospective brides & not really educated in the issues & world around them. Hollis is a smart girl, & thinks through her answers she gives to the king. When she meets the new family that come to court with secrets, she is immediately intrigued. In the end she follows her heart even though it goes against what her family wants. She also has to deal with betrayal and tragedy which do add to the storyline, but I had a hard time with how it all went down. In the ending part of the story it reminded me a lot of the Bible story of Ruth & how she follows her new family into the unknown & to trust them. I had read after this book that there is a sequel to be released later this year, which hopefully will flow smoothly & conclude her story.
