At least, that's the story her family has always told her--that her parents were among the many killed during the fall of the Azzamin empire. But what if that isn't entirely true? What if the dreams Eshaal had while struck by a magical malady--the ones where she is a princess, the last heir to the Peacock Throne, and the would-be savior of Azzamin--are real? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEshaal becomes possessed by the idea, but her pursuit of the truth quickly draws the attention of colonial authorities. To save herself, Eshaal is forced to flee and marry the heir of a secret loyalist family, the handsome and infuriating Imran Mirza. But with a possible princess in his sights and revolution on the horizon, Eshaal's new husband will let nothing stop him from taking back their country--not even the simmering tension between them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith her enemies circling, Eshaal will be put to the test, the fate of Azzamin itself in the balance.
