Short Summary

Reina joins the KEY program to better her country, despite knowing she'll have to hide her true identity. She never anticipated King Magnus taking a personal interest in her; the result causes her to stumble upon how he hasn’t aged in decades as she finds herself in the middle of a civil uprising.


Reina and Princess Helena fall in love, planning their escape. Friends are sacrificed in the process, while rebels help Reina and the Princess escape Brighton. The story ends on a cliffhanger as the rebel leader asks Reina if she's ready to start the revolution against King Magnus.
