Chapter 1

Princess Sarina has no desire to become Queen of Ilythia. After an assassination attempt, she fakes her death and escapes with one of her ladies-in-waiting. Just when she and her lover think the royal life is in the past, the new princess is forced to live with them for her safety. To prepare her beautiful new successor, Sarina disguises herself as a male courtier to tutor the future queen. The more time Sarina spends with her replacement, the more she wishes she could reveal her true identity- consequences be damned.
