In this new series, follow Allyssa, the daughter of the beloved Emperor Darmik and Empress Rema— and find out what happens after happily ever after.
Seventeen-year-old Allyssa appears to be the ideal princess of Emperion—she’s beautiful, elegant, and refined. She spends her days locked in a suffocating cage, otherwise known as royal court. But at night, Allyssa uses her secret persona—that of a vigilante—to hunt down criminals and help her people firsthand.
Unfortunately, her nightly escapades will have to wait because the citizens of Emperion may need saving from something much bigger than common criminals. War is encroaching on their country and in order to protect her people, Allyssa may have to sacrifice her heart. Forced to entertain an alliance through marriage with a handsome prince from a neighboring kingdom, she finds herself feeling even more stifled than before. To make matters worse, the prince has stuck his nosy squire, Jarvik, to watch her every move.
Jarvik is infuriating, bossy and unfortunately, the only person she can turn to when she unveils a heinous plot. Together, the unlikely pair will have to work together to stop an enemy that everyone thought was long gone, one with the power to destroy her family and the people of Emperion. Now the cage Allyssa so longed to break free from might just be the one thing she has to fight to keep intact. In order to save her kingdom, she will have to sacrifice her freedom, her heart, and maybe even her life.

Excerpt
From Chapter One
Running along the edge of the rooftop, Allyssa kept an
eye on the man below. He was three blocks ahead of her as he sprinted down the
street, clutching a bag of coins. Allyssa jumped the two-foot gap to the
adjacent rooftop, not wanting to lose sight of the thief. He slowed and turned
a corner into an alleyway. With any luck, he’d hide there and she could catch
him by surprise.
Allyssa couldn’t believe she was the one running on
rooftops after him. Grevik had insisted only she could do such a thing because
she was smaller, lighter, and more agile. She suspected her friend was just too
much of a pansy to do it himself.
There was one more building to go. Unfortunately, the
next one was much further away. If she had to guess, it was a good eight to ten
feet. Keeping her breathing steady, she steeled her resolve and ran a bit
quicker. She pumped her legs faster and faster, the edge of the rooftop rapidly
approaching. Twenty feet to go. Why did she agree to this? Focus, she scolded
herself. Now was not the time to think about it. Ten feet to go. Here goes
nothing.
