SA Author. Surviving alone in the slums of Valiar, Calliope Lyrae’s life is a constant struggle. That is, until Crown Prince Kaelian Ardent’s guards arrest her and take her to the palace. The only problem for Calliope is that Kaelian expects her to marry him; to wear his Crown of Knives. Calliope must now decide her future. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows for them, as they must work together to meet the challenges and expectations of the palace, while only just tolerating each other out of a sense of duty. The King of Valiar, however, detests Calliope because of who she is and now her life is in constant danger. Calliope must prove that she is worthy of Kaelian or they stand to lose everything.
