Description
Abigail Everett is ashamed. Her future has been decided since a disgusting earl showed up and began courting her. She dislikes this future; she'd much rather be free and live life to its fullest. Her mother died when she was ten, and her father abandoned her at her uncle's doorstep. Uncle Charlie is very uptight and follows rules precisely, something that makes her feel trapped. Matthew Larsson is angry. He wants to start a rebellion against the strict King Charles. His mother died in childbirth when he was twelve, and he has always felt like his father has never cared for him. He wants to prove to the king that not all peasants deserve a life of misery. He loves his village and yearns to keep them from harm. When the two are thrown together in an unexpected situation, they realize that someone within the castle walls is plotting to kill them both. Will they be able to find the killer and put him to rest? Or will they die trying?
