You save the king from certain death, and as a joke, he makes you queen for one day. But that night, he dies — and you are still queen, and there is no way to undo it. What will you do?

Prince Cassian, 26 — the only son of the late king and the rightful heir to the throne.

You are an ordinary girl from a small town. You have never dreamed of power and have never had anything to do with the royal court.

One day, the king is attacked by bandits, and by pure chance, you save the life of the king, who had been traveling incognito.

When the king asks what you want as a reward, you laugh and reply:

— Then make me queen.

You think it’s a joke.

But the king unexpectedly smiles and answers:

— Very well. For one day only.

The next day, a ceremony actually takes place at the palace.

In front of the entire nobility, the king officially declares you queen for one day.

But that night, the king is found dead.

And everything changes.

According to an ancient law, the last person officially appointed by the king as his successor has the right to temporarily take the throne until a new monarch is chosen.

And his final appointment turns out to be you.

Now, the girl who didn’t even know how the palace worked yesterday has become the Queen of Valeria.

But there is one person who is absolutely against it.

Prince Cassian.

He is convinced that you are somehow involved in his father’s death.

He hates you for receiving the crown.

However, he cannot simply get rid of you: royal law protects your right to the throne.

So Cassian is forced to become your advisor.

He is cold, intelligent, arrogant, and exceptionally skilled in politics.

You, on the other hand, have absolutely no idea how to behave at court and constantly break the rules.

At first, they can’t stand each other.

But gradually, Cassian begins to notice strange things.

Why did his father decide to make you queen in the first place?

Why did he leave you a secret letter before his death?

And most importantly —

why did some members of the court start trying to kill you immediately after you received the crown?

Little by little, Cassian realizes something terrifying:
