Publisher's Synopsis
In a world ruled by steel and shadow, Elowen dares the impossible: to stand beside the knight she admires-by becoming his squire. But the path to his side is guarded by more than skill. It demands disguise, courage, and a secret that could shatter everything.
Disguised as a boy, Elowen navigates the brutal trials of the squire's game-where every challenge could expose her true self and cost her everything she's fought for. As danger lurks in the shadows of the castle and trust is a weapon as sharp as any blade, Elowen must fight not only to survive but to be seen. With a knight's honor at stake and a forbidden bond growing between them, Elowen's greatest battle is yet to come. Because some truths are worth risking everything for-and some loves are worth fighting for, even when the game is rigged.
