Who knew the jester was dangerous? Or that he would try and steal her heart?

After seven long years of learning magic at the Wizarding Guild, twenty-two-year-old Laynah is eager to graduate and pursue a glorious career as a wizard in the Royal Guard—until a horrendous injury leaves her dream in ruins.

Defeated and with no chance of graduating, Laynah resigns herself to failure—until she is given a second chance to go to Rutherford Castle.

But Laynah soon learns that not all that glitters is gold, and the royal castle’s inhabitants hold dangerous secrets, including the mysterious jester, who is both infuriating and charming.
When tragedy strikes the kingdom, Laynah is drawn deeper into a web of secrets and lies, and becomes entangled with the jester in a treacherous game of trust and betrayal—but can she trust the jester with her heart?
