Sophia, the dangerous and erratic former queen, has been imprisoned, restoring peace to Orléans. Now her sister, Charlotte, sits on the throne and his decided to invoke the ancient tradition of the Beauty Trials -- a series of harrowing tests meant to find the true ruler of Orléans. Edel, who as always aspired to be more than a Belle, decides to enter and, after promising to bind her arcana to keep from having an unnatural advantage, joins a few dozen other hopefuls intent on becoming the next queen of Orléans. But the Trials are far more dangerous than any of them bargained for. As the women are put through tasks that test their strength, confidence, composure, and bravery, many perish, and Edel is mysteriously attacked by one of the other competitors -- forcing her to use her powers just to survive. Will he subterfuge cost her the crown or is there a larger conspiracy at play?
