It turns out that the palace waters are full of treachery, the rumors are everywhere, and selling the secrets of the others is a family tradition that they refuse to let go of.

With the Crown close by, Lexi is going to have to pick what bonds she’s going to preserve and what she is willing to leave behind her. What will she do in the end? Read this book from Rebecca Armitage to find out!
