A cynical Necromancer with a terrible secret.
An optimistic Crown Prince crumbling under the pressure.
A talented mage living in the shadow of his younger brother.
******
There are always three sides in a fairy tale. The villain, the hero and the spectator.
Diya spent her entire life being the villain of everyone's story- simply because of something she couldn't control.
She is given one last chance to prove herself. One final mission which would throw the Empire into disarray, but mean she could gain precious information about her past. A chance encounter throws her into the Imperial life where deception lies at every turn and the charismatic Imperial family are hiding more than they seem.
With the threat of a war rising and ugly secrets coming to light, can Diya ever get her happily ever after? Or is she doomed to remain the rest of her life as soulless?
