After sisters Scarlette Loftin and Lyndy Hayes find out they are the heirs apparent of Opalla, a world they had no idea even existed, they have a choice to make. Who will be the next Queen of Opalla? They could rule together, apart, or give up their right to rule at all. With Lyndy not wanting anything to do with the job, Scarlette decides to take on the duties.

Between combat training, learning the Rules and Regulations, and getting to know the people of Opalla, the hardest job for Scarlette was learning these things from her teacher, Opalla's acting King, Zarn Danno. An immediate attraction to each other meant only one thing, they were bonded mates, bound to each other forever.

Just when things start looking up, the rules change. Rules that Scarlette didn't make. Someone is after the soon to be Queen, but who and why? Is Scarlette the only one in danger? What if she's not the only one with a mark on her back?

If Scarlette can't protect her family, how can she protect an entire Kingdom? Only time will tell, and time was against her.
