Bel's family is relegated to the last of the royalty because her father married her mother against the courts wishes. She spends her days studying and flying her Wasp flyer over their beautiful planet. When the unthinkable happens and their sworn enemy wipes out the entire royal family, her father becomes the King. Bel now has to step into the arranged marriage of the dead kings daughter on a distant planet. Woefully unprotected, they are attacked by her planets sworn enemies. Ancient beings of the first race that inhabit the planet in stasis, bond with Bel as the future Queen. And they will do everything they can to protect Conleith, the ruler, and her future husband. I could not put this book down. Heart pounding battles, devastating loss, epic conclusion. I loved it! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book from Netgalley.
