Against all odds and at great cost, Jezebel has managed to keep her shape-shifting Gift a secret. With the disappearance of her father, Jezebel has become homeless, and Prince Shem invites her to become a resident of the castle and a member of his own personal council. Jezebel graciously accepts, however it becomes evident that the other members of the council do not want her there and will do anything to exclude or shame her, while the palace guards treat her with extreme suspicion. Jezebel determines she will do what it takes to prove to Prince Shem she is worthy of his appointment and her place in the palace, regardless of the other council member’s attempts to undermine her. But when another shifter breaks into the palace and lockdown ensues, Jezebel realizes she could easily be caught instead. In order to protect her secrets, new home, and budding relationship with Prince Shem, Jezebel must find a way to catch this new shifter and turn them in, or risk losing everything, including her life.
