Five families. Five dead princesses. A soul that refuses to pay and a soul that refuses to be sold. Adrian thought he understood the world he had been born into and the house he had been born to lead. But when his mother comes to him, the words "you've been chosen" on her lips, he realizes that he understood nothing. He loses everything...except his life. And now he must fight to keep that, and the lives of so many others, too.
