The moment poison touched her lips, Penelope was destined to fall. But rather than the warm embrace of death she expected, what meets her is a cold limbo. With Penelope unable to awake, the love interests find themselves divided―some accusatory, some protective, and a certain crown prince hell-bent on finding the one who did this to the duke’s daughter and making them pay.

As Ivonne continues to spin her web of lies, more and more become victim to her brainwashing, bringing her ever closer to her goal. But will Ivonne's true nature be revealed before it’s too late?
