Engaged to a prince, but not queen yet, when the royal family tries to cut Jezebel out of the picture, she wonders if she truly wants a future with them... or if she should carve a new path with the enemy. As Jezebel and the Jinni prince begin their engagement tour, the only thing worse than the Jinni resentment is the increasing attacks from the Khaanevaade that hint at impending war. When they attempt to kidnap the illusive prince, they accidentally capture Jezebel instead. Despite their fearsome dragon-like abilities, Jezebel believes she could easily save herself.
