It's a dangerous game . . .And Cinder's freedom is the prize.

The man most interested in buying Cinder is Adar, a prince with a wicked reputation that masks a kindness Cinder cannot fathom. In his glittering world of prestige and power, she discovers the game for her freedom is only a smaller move in a complex coup against the nobility.

And Cinder's newfound closeness with the prince makes her the perfect pawn.

Does Cinder have the courage to defy the slavers and play the game her way? Can she save herself and her family? Or will she be forced to destroy the one man who may hold the key to her heart? Read Of Sand and Storm to find out
