Princess Calla Everfield has many secrets: a secret crush on the servant Greyson, having no desire to marry Prince Devon but her biggest secret is the magic she does in the west tower with her governess, Lady Destiny. Magic is forbidden in the land of Hillshire, and princess or not if Calla is caught tangled up with such evil, her punishment will be death. When Greyson threatens her life, she thinks he's discovered her secrets. Greyson has followed orders since birth. Even the ones he's questioned like his father sending him to the mortals world to befriend a princess. And then later being told if such a time when Lady Destiny tries to strip the princess of her powers, he must kill the princess. When the plan to kill Calla fails he decides to whisk her away to his magical kingdom, Spalden. And now, he finds himself going against his father's wishes again when he falls for Calla, instead of Isadora the intended bride he's to marry. While Calla learns how to hone her power, Lady Destiny begins to steal dark energy and eventually lures the princess back to Hillshire. In order for Calla to save herself and everyone she cares about from Lady Destiny's wrath, she must make a choice. If she gives up her magic she'll never see Greyson again since her father has a bounty out for him. And if she keeps the magic, she must kill her mentor while leaving her family behind forever since magic isn't accepted in her world.
