The glitter of chandeliers is caught in the cold eyes of thirteen-year-old Prince Kaelen.

Kaelen, known for his restless spirit and love of mockery, spots in Selene the perfect target. His gaze slides over her flustered face, appraising her as easy prey for his endless games. The air is thick with tension: will she crumble into tears, or perhaps, dare to fight back?
