When Annabeth and her sister eliza are drafted into becoming maids within the palace of Quenwall, they expect little more than to: wait hand on foot for the royal family, earn money for the rest of their family at home and then retire gracefully once their service is up; but things are never as simple as they seem when there's royals involved. The king: agressive, handsy and execution happy. The queen: A nervous wreck who is barely seen outside of her chambers. The princess with a secret. And the prince: Alexander Romero, dark, handsome, sadistic and cruel. A man who devoures women and then spits them back out again. A man who always gets what he wants, and this time he wants Eliza. It's hard to know what a family is like from outside of the home, of course there are rumours, but rumours are often sculpted by the people who want you to hear them. So when Eliza is taken as Alexander's mistress, Annabeth is non the wiser. It isn't untill Alexander moves on and Eliza suddenly vanishes that Annabeth truly begins to sense that things aren't quite as simple as they seem. In a bid to find out the real location of her missing sister she must gain alexander's attention and play him at his own game. But will she succeed? or will she fall like so many others into the trap that is Alexander Romero? sex, scandal, betrayal and voilence lie ahead
