But the "worthless" stones are pure jade, the "broken" carts hide endless herds, and her rugged husband, Alistair Belmont, is no tribesman—he is the Emperor of the mighty Daurevia Empire. As her sister flaunts a royal wedding, Yetta steps into a gilded cage of secrets, where every lie unravels a truth more dazzling than the last.
