Walking the line between royal and renegade has never been so treacherous. Five years ago, facing an arranged marriage in a distant country, Princess Brynna ran away and became The Veil, a masked vigilante protecting the streets of Forcadel.
But when her father and brother are murdered - and the killer is nowhere to be found - she's forced back into a life of crowns and gowns instead of cloaks and cut-throats.
But The Veil's problems remain. Her nemesis, Lord Beswick, continues to prey on the most innocent in the city. Unable to stand by and do nothing, Brynna strikes a deal with her overly-protective captain to finish what she started before she's officially crowned queen and she has to hang up her mask for good.
Now, Brynna must find a royal murderer, take down a slumlord businessman, and keep her kingdom in one piece - not to mention stay alive herself - in this award-winning first book in this fast-paced, young adult epic fantasy.
