Aurelia is a princess, but they call her a witch.
Surrounded by spirits and burdened with forbidden magic, she lives in
constant fear of discovery by the witch-hunting Tribunal and their
bloodthirsty mobs. When a devastating assassination attempt reveals her
magical abilities, Aurelia is forced to flee her country with nothing
but her life.
Alone and adrift in an enemy kingdom, Aurelia plans her revenge against
the Tribunal, desperate to bring down the dark organization that has
wrought terror upon her people for hundreds of years. But there's
something deeply amiss in her new home, too, and soon she finds herself
swept into a deadly new mystery with a secretive prince, the ghost of an
ancient queen, and a poison vine called Bloodleaf.
Aurelia is entangled in a centuries-long game of love, power, and war,
and if she can't break free before the Tribunal makes its last move, she
may lose far more than her crown.
