Grimhilda only wants to use her illegal skill of potion-making to help those less fortunate. But when the King's oracle names her as his next Queen, she finds herself at the center of a sinister plot to remove her Husband-to-Be from the throne. To complicate matters, she's falling for her guard, Theron, a man she's sure she can't trust. With her life on the line, Grimhilda must decide how far she's willing to go to survive, and if survival is worth the cost of her soul.
