For generations, the Agard family has served the "kings" of New Denmark, a city controlled by the Jacobi crime family.
Ophelia Agard has spent her life dreaming of being free of it all, and now, just about to turn twenty, that dream is about to become reality.
Until her fate is forcibly tied to the young prince of New Denmark, a man destined to be the king of a kingdom he doesn't want.
Prince Lucas Hamlet Jacobi favors freedom over family and has no intention of taking over the kingdom. His father's untimely death has all eyes on him, but he refuses to step up. Instead, he seeks solace in a place where he can find himself.
That is, until she shows up.
The one girl he has never been able to forget-the one he is supposed to ignore.
Ophelia allows herself to be led into the den of temptation, obedient as always. But the desire to do as she is told soon falls away, as her heart is won over by the one person she is meant to deceive.
Romance whirls in the air amidst war and a plot to take over the city.
But this is not a love story.
This is a tragedy.
This is a tale of ghosts.
