Fatherless citizens are despised in Anesia, an island occupied by Gypsies, where pirate blood runs in the Nobles' veins. And for Alenia, a seventeen-year-old who doesn't own her father's name, and her mother, Myrian, life is difficult and dangerous wherever they turn. Alenia's dreams of becoming a Healer, for a steady wage and to improve their lives coin-by-coin, seem in her reach when she wins a scholarship at the Eaker University of Nobles. She vows to keep her head down and her mouth shut but is exceedingly bad at both and she struggles, surrounded, with those she hates the most. An attempt to make friends with the Gypsies goes sour and leads Alenia to a risky encounter with the dangerous Crown Prince Dylantian. It's soon clear that Alenia is not the only one seeking to change family fortunes or considering desperate measures. Drawn into the prince's quest to restore his mother's health, fulfil a prophecy, and discover the truth about the Royal Family's misfortune, Alenia uncovers lies, plots and hidden identities. To reclaim what has been lost, Alenia finds herself gambling with more than just her own life. She finds the cost may be her own heart, too. A slow-burn romantasy Pirates, Rogue, Gypsies Mystery, Lies Hidden Identity Enemies to Lovers A no-spice romance Suitable for teens Told in the third person, Jane Austenish style
