A Witch enters Prince Adrian's life like a lightning strike, but lightning that strikes more than once! You see, they come together, oddly enough, through a failed Bonding Ceremony. This is worth noting because a bonding between Witch and prince, which is for life, has never failed before in the long history of Witches. Alexandra, the Witch who unexpectedly bonds with Adrian, finds herself having to educate him, protect him, make him a formidable soldier, and of course, ultimately, the king.

Adrian tests Alexandra in her newfound role because he is a lonely boy, just thirteen, who is anything but comfortable being royal. To make matters worse, he is not sure if his parents even love him. And, anyone who would care to listen, and few would, he would describe the relationship with his parents with a single word, difficult.

Furthermore, as soon as the bond occurs between Alexandra and Adrian, a secretive enemy seeks to destroy not only their relationship, but also the alliance between Adrian's kingdom and her coven!

Alexandra, unyielding in what she sets her mind to, uses her sharp intellect, cunning, Witchcraft, and the Discipline to defend not only Adrian, but also his right to the throne! And, she is all too aware that great leaders can collect a great number of enemies.
