Her magic feeds on lies.
His magic could destroy her.

Mira Kyler runs the court of Virdei from the shadows. Ever since she helped her half-brother Luc take the throne, she's used her lie-powered magic to blackmail members of the elite and secure his leadership.

But newcomer Kaidren Vale is after the throne and Mira fears it will be his for the taking. Kaidren has magic that can detect the nature of someone's magic with a single touch, and if he so much as brushes against her, he will discover that Mira has been manipulating the court for years.

As Kaidren and Luc compete in a series of deadly trials, Mira decides she's done hiding in the shadows. She wants the throne for herself and she'll betray them both to get it. But will she be able to resist the one boy who could destroy everything?
