In Thanapolis, those gifted with magic are assigned undead spirits to guard them- and control them. Ever since Rovan’s father dies trying to keep her from this fate, she’s hidden her magic. But when she accidentally reveals her powers, she’s bound to a spirit and thrust into a world of palace intrigue and deception. Desperate to escape, Rovan finds herself falling for two people she can’t fully trust: Lydia, a beguiling, rebellious princess; and Ivrilos, the handsome spirit with the ability to control Rogan, body and soul. Together, they uncover a secret that will destroy Thanapolis. To save them all, Rovan will have to start a rebellion in both the mortal world and the underworld, and find a way to trust the princess and spirit battling for her heart- if she doesn’t betray them first.
