Eighteen-year-old Amani, the body double for Princess Maram, is kept isolated with the threat of her family's safety held over her head. When her connection to the rebels trying to overthrow the ruling family are exposed, she breaks Maram's trust. Although Maram could have Amani executed for treason, instead she makes a proposal: Amani will take her place during the public festivities celebrating Maram's wedding to Idris, and Maram will keep Amani's rebel secrets. While Amani navigates the dangerous court for the princess--and fights her love for Idris--a plan forms in her mind, one that could help the rebels save her world. But if it fails, it will destroy all those she loves.
