Quote:In early 19th century Europe on the island Queendom of Aselyn, Lady Temperance has "come of age" and is about to formally join the royal sisterhood that has kept their matriarchy strong and sovereign for over three centuries. But claiming her birthright as Heiress of Lilithaina means confronting a forbidden truth...

Since age eleven, Temperance's constant companion has been her faithful handmaiden, Amity, but they are far more than mistress and servant to each other...they are desperately in love.

It is a mutual affection they dare not acknowledge. Temperance must someday marry a man, and continue her long, noble lineage. She can never be with her heart's one desire.

As Temperance is introduced to the secrets of Aselyn's society of noblewomen, meeting the dangerously alluring Princess Verity, heiress to the throne, how can the fervent love she and Amity share ever survive...when it has never had the chance to bloom?
