Princess Isabelle's future is beginning to take shape--and not entirely by her own choosing. An arrangement between Luminara and the neighbouring kingdom of Emberfalls could determine whom Isabelle will one day marry. But Prince Adler has a very different future hanging over him. With his sixteenth birthday only days away, a curse placed upon him years ago is about to come to fruition--and no one knows exactly what will happen when it does. Least of all Adler. When their paths collide in the meadow between their kingdoms, Isabelle and Adler find themselves facing futures neither of them chose--and discovering that perhaps neither of them is quite what the other expected. But the future rarely unfolds the way we imagine it will. Isabelle and Adler are both about to discover that sometimes surrender means letting go of the life we thought we wanted to find something we never knew we needed.
