Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle.
Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favourof a doomed love?.
The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies, a plan that requires a stomach-churning, unthinkable sacrifice.
However, a treasonous secret is the least of Twylla\'s problems.
Yet Twylla\'s been promised to the prince, and knows what happens to people who cross the queen.
And unlike the others, he\'s able to look past Twylla\'s executioner robes and see the girl, not the Goddess.
But then a new guard arrives, a boy whose easy smile belies his deadly swordsmanship.
Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to Twylla\'s fatal touch, avoids her company.
No one will ever love a girl with murder in her veins.
As the Goddess embodied, Twylla instantly kills anyone she touches.
Each month she\'s taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason.
She\'s the executioner.
But although she\'s engaged to the prince, Twylla isn\'t exactly a member of the court.
