The empire tore apart Perrin’s family and destroyed his future. All he has left is the desire to fight back, no matter how hopeless the cause. Then he meets Allee Pensier. Her people, the Spectra, are long believed extinct, and their strict laws prevent them from revealing themselves. But when Perrin saves Allee’s humanity, he forges a connection between them. Her people have the power to turn the tide of the war, but seeking their aide may break Allee’s trust. If only two people from such different backgrounds could ever work together.

The royal crown has gone missing on the eve of Princess Innis's coronation, and Alvis Welson is certain that the twelve princesses had something to do with it. His fox form gives him near invisibility, but the kings and queens would rather blame him than their daughters. With the human and Spectra populations nearing war, Alvis will have to find the answers before he loses his head... or his heart.
