When Princess Wilhelmina was a child, the Indigo Kingdom invaded her homeland. Ten years later, Wil and the other noble children who escaped are ready to fight back and reclaim Wil’s throne. To do so, Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate the Indigo Kingdom palace with hopes of gathering information that will help them succeed.
But Wil has a secret—one that could change everything. Although magic has been illegal for a century, she knows her ability could help her save her kingdom. But magic creates wraith, and the deadly stuff is moving closer and destroying the land.
And if the vigilante Black Knife catches her using magic, she may disappear like all the others....

- A Found Family: She isn’t alone. Wil leads the Ospreys, a tight-knit band of fellow orphans, in a desperate mission to reclaim their home and avenge their parents.
- High-Stakes Political Intrigue: To win back her kingdom, Wil must steal secrets from the very heart of the enemy’s power, all while a deadly, magic-born plague called the wraith creeps ever closer.
- An Enemies to Lovers Romance: A mysterious vigilante known as Black Knife hunts all magic users. He’s her greatest threat, but their repeated clashes reveal a connection neither of them can ignore.
