I thought I had been one of those people to her. When I was found in the woods at eleven, I was brought back by the king, who handed me over to his royal advisor, Talia. At first, she didn't know what to do with me. Everything was a fight or power struggle between us. She didn't know how to care fo

I broke away from them, and Killian and Joselin became closer than ever. I was initially jealous, but then I recognized their relationship for what it w
Joselin's P.O.V. I just wanted to invite her to join the council. Now I was trekking through the forest, blinded with fury, and wanting her dead. She had said it was a favor, but it wasn't. It was a test. Whether she had tried to trick me into going under the disguise of a favor or Killian sent me
