Bryn Even always wanted to be part of the Kanin world. And although she has no social status because she is a half-breed, she does not give up on her dream of serving the kingdom she loves. This dream takes her to a completely new world... the sparkling Skojar Palace. The Skoyar people need protection from the same brutal enemy that threatens the Kanin tribe, and since she is half Skoyar, this is a chance for Bryn to learn more about her origins. Her boss, Ridley Dresden, is in charge of the mission and wants to help. He has always been her most trusted friend - but as their mutual attraction intensifies, he becomes an infatuation she can't afford. Bryn is close to realizing that Skoyar's world is full of secrets, and as she becomes more and more confused, she doesn't know who to trust. And because of the closeness that has arisen with Ridley, she realizes that she may not even be able to trust her own heart.
