Princess Madalina and her twin, Inessa, are born attached at the hand – the only time the sisters were ever united. Madalina is gentle, finding peace amongst her magical flowers – flowers ideal for torture and torment, though not in her hands, for Madalina dreams of escape. Inessa is ruthless – betrothed to a wealthy heir, she has been working to a secret mission: marry the prince, then kill him.
But when Inessa becomes trapped in ghostly purgatory, Madalina must take her twin’s place as a bride with deadly orders. In a rotten kingdom, everything is politics and poison. Can Madalina resist the infuriatingly clever prince and, for the sake of her family, put aside her heart?
