Queen Beza is a woman untouched by those around her. Immortal as she might be, she hasn’t yet learned the art of loving anything other than her crown. For over three hundred years, she has kept herself in isolation from everyone around her. After an attempt is made on her life, she begins to understand that her immortality is more fragile than she thought. While searching for the suspect, she is led down a path of darkness, deceit, and betrayal, uncovering secrets along the way that were never meant to be uncovered. With her lead guardsman attempting to break through the ice surrounding her heart, and a peasant woman who reveals the likelihood that Beza may not be the sole heir to the throne, she delves deeper into suspicion, isolating herself further. Now she must search for a brother she never knew, convinced that he is after her throne. In her quest to find the truth and defend her nation against forces both seen and unseen, Beza’s greatest ally may be a change of heart. But can she learn to trust those closest to her before she loses her crown, her chance to love again, and most devastatingly, her life?
