To protect his frail and sickly sister, Kael is forced to disguise himself as a woman and enter the royal palace in her place for the King’s Selection.
His plan is simple: fail miserably, get sent home, and never look back. But instead of being rejected, his awkward manners, terrible dancing, and complete lack of interest in courtly perfection somehow earn him a place among the King’s Royal Attendants.
Then Kael meets a strange and infuriating King. By day, they clash inside the palace. By night, Kael drinks and speaks freely with a mysterious man wearing a silver mask.
What Kael doesn’t know is that the “friend” he has been drinking with—and openly insulting—is the very King sitting on the throne.
As Kael’s secret becomes harder to hide, what began as a ridiculous disguise soon turns into an unexpected adventure that could change the fate of an entire kingdom.
