A rather dark YA novel. Carys must constantly cover for her twin brother Andreus, whose disability would surely be viewed as a "curse" by the rest of the court and the people they rule. Meanwhile, Carys is struggling with an addiction to the pain medicine her mother started giving her to help her bear the punishments she frequently faces for her improper behavior.
After the deaths of their father and eldest brother, the two siblings are pitted against each other in a competition for the throne.
