Hanleigh loves books more than nearly anything in the world; whether its reading them or writing them, Hanleigh just can't get enough. She's read more books than she can count and owns more books than some libraries.

Trust was a liberty that as Kumari, Bae could not afford, especially after the murder of Bae’s mother, the late Kumari.

There were only two things that a Kumari should trust; magic and her seven mates.

The race was on for Bae to find and claim her seven mates before she had to defend her realm from an unknown enemy.

When the time to leave came, Adelaide was waiting for her sister on the front step of the castle, her eyes bruised from lack of sleep.


"Adelaide," Bae said as she came to stand beside her, "I'm so glad you've chosen to come with us."

"I'll ride with the other advisors or Talas," Adelaide told her.


"If that's what's you want," Bae agreed with a smile. "Hisoka and Talas will be in the carriage directly behind my own."


"Did you not know? Hisoka promised your father to protect Talas."
