Chapter 1

She always wanted to get inside the walls of the palace to become a guard like her old man used to be. She'll end up getting in but not for the same reason.
***
Kaelie must fight inside the castle but instead of with the guards, it's for the prince's heart. She'll need to let go of her old shy ways to deal with the Prince; the golden boy himself is not as charming as his appearance. Rude and cruel, she doesn't believe he's worth all that trouble. But something else might be.
She will learn secrets buried in the deep, learn to speak for herself, and mostly, become aware that no one is safe.
