This is a genre-bending roller-coaster ride. Keralie is determined to make a name for herself in Quadara and leave her dark past on Toria. Working the black market seemed to be the only way to go, until Varin and a heist gone wrong. Keralie is taken aback by his mysterious persona and the affect he has on her. Meanwhile, at the palace, tensions are high between the four queens. The future of Quadara seems to be slipping from them and they cannot seem to agree. When Queen Iris is found murdered, Keralie and Varin are thrust into a conspiracy that goes deeper than they could've imagined. Scholte kept you guessing the entire time. Even when you think you know, you don't. She also handles the multiple POV expertly and it adds a greater depth to the mystery.
