The war is over. The dark forces have won and the hero who would save everyone... is dead. As the castle falls into the hands of the enemy, the captive Bryony Rosewood watches her world crumble. Evil has prevailed and her people face subjugation, imprisonment, or death. Stripped of her magic and freedom, Bryony is sold as the most priceless trophy along with the other survivors. After all, as the princess of Evermore, she is the most valuable prize.

Her fate will lead her into the hands of Toben Hearst, heir of a family known for its cruelty. Amid the nightmare of her new reality and the role she is forced to play, Bryony will discover that hope can sometimes appear in the most unexpected places and that in the end, not all is lost.
