Emelina Flores has nothing. Her home in Ruina has been ravaged by war; her parents were killed and her sister was kidnapped. Even though Em is only a useless Ruined—completely lacking any magic—she is determined to get revenge. Her plan is simple: She will infiltrate the enemy’s kingdom, posing as the crown prince’s betrothed. She will lead an ambush. She will kill the king and everything he holds dear, including his son. The closer Em gets to the prince, though, the more she questions her mission. Her rage-filled heart begins to soften. But with her life—and her family—on the line, love could be Em’s deadliest mistake.
Emelina Flores se ha quedado sola, todo lo que tenía lo ha perdido: sus padres han muerto, su hermana fue raptada y su hogar privilegiado en la capital de Ruina ha sido saqueado por la guerra. Pero, aunque Em carezca de habilidad o magia, ella ya ha tomado la determinación de su vida: obtendrá venganza. Su plan es simple: se infiltrará en el lecho del príncipe heredero, y desde ahí asesinará al rey y a toda su descendencia. Sin embargo, hay algo con lo que no contaba: el príncipe se ha enamorado de ella. ¿La ternura de un dulce amante podrá apaciguar su sed de venganza? Quizás el amor sea un error que le cueste la vida.
