Cerese enters the High King’s harem in her sister’s place, joining eleven chosen women from surrounding kingdoms. A healer sworn not to harm, she is forced into a world built on secrets, ambition and blood.
Orhan, feared ruler of the Thirteen Kingdoms, sees through everyone—except her.
But as danger coils around the palace walls, Cerese must decide whether to hold to her vows… or become something far more dangerous than everyone expects.
The Harem is no place for love.
This is where the destiny of every kingdom is decided, and if you are not a player, you are a pawn.
Cerese can only give up or… become one of them.
