Josie Rourke was never supposed to be the bride. She was the plain one. The quiet one. The deaf one they kept in the back room with the calculators while her sister was groomed for a billionaire. Then Vanessa climbed out the bridal suite window forty minutes before the ceremony — and their mother pulled the dress over Josie's head. Just say the words, baby. He has never looked at you. He won't start today. But when Julian Sterling lifted her veil in front of six hundred witnesses, he didn't flinch. He turned his face into the light, made sure she could see his mouth, and said eight words that blew her life apart: "I know who you are. I asked for you." He didn't marry the wrong sister. He married the one woman alive who can read a lie straight off a man's mouth — and she's about to read one off his. Now Josie has twelve months, a husband who touches her like he owns her and looks at her like she's the last honest thing left in the world, and a dead father whose name keeps turning up on paper he never lived to sign. She thought she was the payment. She's the weapon.

She was never supposed to be the bride. Isolde Verrian has spent her life invisible — the daughter no one wanted, doing the work no one thanked her for. When the King of Morvane demands a sacrifice to end a hundred-year war, her family doesn't hesitate to offer up the daughter they can afford to lose. So Isolde takes her sister's name. And walks straight into the hands of a man rumored to have buried three brides before her. He finds out immediately. He keeps her anyway. King Kaelen Vane was never supposed to want a substitute. But the moment he realizes the woman in front of him isn't the bride he was promised, he makes a choice no one expects — least of all Isolde. He doesn't send her back. Now she's trapped in a court built on fear, married to a man whose reputation might not be the whole truth — and might still be dangerous enough to kill her. To survive, Isolde will have to uncover exactly what happened to the queens who came before her. Before she becomes the next name no one speaks of again. A stolen name. A dangerous king. A bride who was never supposed to be his — and now can't imagine being anyone else's.
