Where Iron Meets Flame

After the death of her father, the heir to the throne, Lilian Coleman must accompany her cousin to the Crown palace, where he is to take her father's place as heir. However, Lilian does not find lavishness and breathtaking balls as she had imagined. She finds a mysterious darkness, secrets her father left behind for her in his diary, and a curse he had been trying to break. Henry Freyr was never a hero, and he never wanted to be one. Stuck as a bandit to keep a roof over his and his friends' heads, Henry has resigned himself as the villain. But when he and his firends happen upon a dead nobleman with a strange medallion in his pocket telling of a cursed land called Pevern, Henry finds himself pulled into a dark mystery. As more and more nobles are found murdered, all with something to do with the curse, Lilian's and Henry's paths collide. Unless they break the curse in time, Peveren will vanish forever. However, Henry does not wish to work with a spoiled princess, and Lilian does not want to join a criminal, either. But as the great Clock ticks on and more people fall, Lilian and Henry know that they must come together to save Peveren and break the curse-the curse that might just be their end.
