It is a heavy burden, but to forget the prince she left behind, Reed throws herself into it, harvesting heroes at what some say is a reckless pace.</p> <p>So when Lyonene is summoned to guide a princess to a glorious marriage, Reed sees an opportunity--a hero who isn't fated to die--and they secretly arrange for Reed to go in her place. But instead of an easy mission, she arrives to find chaos: an old enemy is rising to threaten the Aristene, and one of the princess's suitors is Hestion, whom Reed still loves, and who may yet love her.</p> <p>Reed has already given everything to the order. As oaths are broken and lives are lost, what more must she give to save her sisters, and herself?</p>
