She tried to kill him. He's taken her prisoner. The fate of the realm rests in her hands.

Then the Drakonian Empire invaded, and Valerie lost everything.

Two years later, Maskamere is a vassal of the Empire. Dressmaker by day, rebel by night, Valerie embarks on a mission to restore the silvertrees and free her country. But when an assassination plot goes wrong and her magical powers are revealed, Valerie is captured by the very man she tried to kill.
