When a prince appears on a witch's doorstep, lost and injured, she lets him into her home. But she's determined that her heart will remain tightly locked, and he'll never have the key. When Alma's rare magical affinity brings witch hunters down on her family, she abandons all she knows. For a decade she conceals herself, estranged from a world that misunderstands her powers. Prince Lorenzo grapples with the obligations of his position, including the expectation that he marry a princess.

Their hearts yearn for a forbidden path, but Lorenzo's departure is inevitable, and so is his duty to his kingdom. While Alma wrestles with her grief, her magic and her long-held guilt over her parents' deaths, Lorenzo faces the choice that'll decide them both: duty, or true love.
