Prologue

Centuries ago, a civil war tore apart mankind, dividing the land into four kingdoms: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs.

Now, Zella is eighteen years old and the youngest queen in history. She vows to do everything in her power to lead her kingdom, but when the rules say you must be with a king you don't truly love, it's not always smooth.

At the monthly card game between the four kingdoms, Zella's eyes fall on a pretty face she can't resist, and she realizes that love or law isn't the easiest decision.
