She wants power.

He wants revenge.

Both will do whatever it takes to get what they desire.

Kallie has manipulated, lied, and seduced the people around her since she was a child. Sailing away on that ship should have put her problems behind her, yet somehow they have followed Kallie instead. To get what she wants, Kallie must pretend she is in love with a king she does not know. However, there's one problem: she can't get him out of her mind.
