Piper Stoneheaven

Mariella only wants one thing: to have fun. Only her family doesn't want that, since she is the infanta of the powerful Rosaliken. After a misstep, she ends up in the citadel of Stoneheaven, where the disgraced offspring are to be straightened out. It's hell for Mariella, everything has to be fought for, even her place in her unit, which consists of the guilt-ridden Lyon, the mentally gifted Xiu, the assassin Syke and the aloof Aidan. The latter, of all people, arouses Mariella's interest, even though he has committed a grave betrayal. But when Mariella actually gets the opportunity to escape, she is unsure if she still wants to leave Stoneheaven. Perhaps the Citadel is the chance she needs after all?.
