About the book: year / Three trials. Three weeks. Three Royal Princes. For an experienced thief like Raibeth Wise, this should have been an easy task. Just sneak into the royal palace and save your friend from the executioner's scaffold. But when Raibet accidentally finds herself in the Trials, she has no choice but to complete them to the end. A thin veil of etiquette, elegance and glamor hides the true nature of the Trials. Behind closed doors, they are cruel and bloodthirsty, and to fail means losing your life. Thrust into the spotlight and forced to compete with the Kingdom's chosen loves, she finds unexpected allies and bonds. But someone will stop at nothing to see her fail. After all, she's just a dirty Pond resident. Raibeth will do whatever it takes to make it to the Golden Ball, princes be damned.
