Book II: Thrown into the monarchy of Caelius, Queen Elspeth continues to struggle with the mysteries of the castle and the secrets her three aides insist upon keeping to themselves. The King has promised her four loyal aides, but the fourth turns out to be a traitor, exposing her to great danger and causing her to doubt King Fredric’s trustworthiness.
Plagued by the evil Casimir’s constant attempts to overthrow her and take over her beloved Caelius, Elspeth is faced with difficult decisions, the frightening prospect of learning to trust her aides, and an oftentimes overwhelming self-doubt.
One by one, the castle secrets are unveiled, but instead of providing reassurance, they only add to her doubts. Is she merely a pawn in a manipulative game played by her aides, or is the King’s word truly to be trusted?
