With the help of a northern duke, she learns that her eyes are not a sign of a curse, but proof of magical power. Pushed away from the throne and raised only to become a pawn in a political marriage, she decides to stop living quietly and take control of her own fate. As she begins to move on her own, she discovers that someone is deliberately putting everyone connected to her in danger, and she sets out to uncover the truth behind it all.
