The King becomes convinced Joselyn Osborne is the chosen one, lavishing gold on her and neglecting her twin, Lainey. Eighteen years later, with the kingdom weakened, a marriage alliance becomes urgent. The King and Ashtyn Harper scheme to wed Joselyn into Myrraveth while banishing Lainey to a so-called barbaric wasteland. With her mother imprisoned, Lainey departs in tears, sent thousands of miles away. Expecting ruin, she instead discovers the Outlands are ruled by the King of Zuyenne and overflowing with riches. Betrayal, prophecy and identity collide as Lainey is forced to confront a truth that upends everything she was taught to believe.
