The trip to Shreville is nothing like Vivilyn had imagined. After the chaos of the last Choosing Ceremony, she has something to prove to not only the people, but also herself. When a high ranking general from Kreistos solicits her help, she finds herself stuck at a crossroad. Does her duty lie with her kingdom and her blossoming relationship with Aiden? Or with people like her?

In Prince Aiden’s Enchanted Trials, Vivilyn knows two things: 1.) As her abilities continue to grow, it’s becoming harder to keep her deadly secret from being exposed. 2.) The return of magic isn’t the biggest threat that the kingdom faces. The women in the Trials have been halved, leaving only 100 women left to compete for the prince’s heart and the first official travel location has been revealed. As soon as they arrive at the Fortress of Adalay, Freya’s home, strange things become apparent.

As the next stage of Prince Aiden’s Enchanted Trials begins, Vivilyn finally feels confident in still remaining in the Trials. But when she discovers the people think she’s a fraud because she’s been so sheltered in her life, that hard-won confidence starts whittling away. Winter looms while Prince Aiden realizes that the kingdom might not be as idyllic as he had always believed. Rivalries heat up between the women and not everyone is as she seems.

In the Kingdom of Etilidus, two things are certain: Magic is dangerous, and any hint of magical ability equals death. Vivilyn Minette, a talented artist from the small town of Treelyn, dreams of raising her family's fortune by becoming a famous painter. So, when she is chosen to compete for the heart of Prince Aiden, an opportunity of a lifetime, she should be ecstatic. But, while everyone else in Treelyn is celebrating her newfound fame, she is terrified that her secret will be discovered. Magic runs through her veins.

After the explosive start to Prince Aiden’s Enchanted Trials, the trials must continue. Between mistakenly eating a fruit that causes her visions to go haywire, signs that an ancient prophecy might be coming true, and the potential of spies lurking around every corner, Vivilyn realizes even though the first ceremony has concluded, the dangers have just begun.
