Only enemies competing for the same reward-receive the king's protection from the bloodthirsty Alorians and a bag filled with coins. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter twenty-two years, Caitriona Delahorian thought she was skilled at the art of hiding when it came to the draft. If the king knew she had magic in her blood, she'd be forced to enter the Trials. No purse filled with payment for her servitude. No alluring invitation blessed with security for her family. No. She'd be nothing more than a prisoner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf\u003c\/i\u003e she lived. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the rebellion marching to her door, she realizes hiding is no longer an option.

If she passes her first test, she can move on and maybe escape. But an arrogant, stubborn, roguish, albeit extremely handsome, self-centered captain won't leave her side. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCaptain Hawthorne's blade was rumored to slice through the strongest armor. Yet, it was his eyes that cut through her. There was more hiding behind his façade.
