Knopf Books for Young Readers
Isidora, crown princess of Vasileia, dreams of marrying for love as her parents did before her. But after she abruptly ascends the throne at the age of eighteen, a very different reality confronts her. She is expected to marry for alliance and nothing more.
When Isidora refuses to wed, her council votes to rescind her power. Her only hope to save Vasileia is marrying one of three suitors: a passionate friend from Corinth, an elegant noble from Athens, or a celebrated warrior from Sparta. But the man Isidora is drawn to isn’t one of the three. Infuriatingly secretive and, as it turns out, an exceptional kisser, he’s the only one who truly sees her. Which is ironic, since he is invisible.
As her forced wedding approaches, Isidora must make her choice. In the face of assassination attempts, divided loyalties between sisters, and the threat of war, she must decide if she has the faith to declare the call of her heart—and the strength to save Vasileia.
