The truth is an illusion. Our allies are our enemies. We must trust only in our hearts.

Left with no choice but to serve in my aunt's army, my mates and I are forced to navigate the perils of her demon-infested court while keeping my young nieces safe. Before we become puppets in a mad mage's scheme of vengeance, I must convince Queen Malvolia that she's about to wage war based on an illusion. That twenty-five years ago an evil mage had tricked the sorceress queen into setting her country ablaze and hunting my mother, her dear twin sister. That deception and paranoia had led to my father's unjust execution. And her real enemy is far more vengeful and deadly than her imagined one. War is looming, and if we can't find a way to stop it, we will be forced to battle King Fachnan's thousand-dragon army and his powerful white witch ally, my own beloved twin. Even worse, we could all become demon fodder.
