One day she came up with an idea to change her life. She went to her father and asks him to send her to live in the states. After all her life was in danger if she stayed where she was, he had said so himself. All she was asking for, was four years to be normal. She just wanted to be like everyone else till she had to be who she was. It had taken some doing, but she had managed to talk her father into letting her attend high school in the states. She wouldn’t get to go alone, she knew she wouldn’t. However, she did get to choose who she went with. No way had she dreamed her life would be so different in the states. Nor had she dreamed she would be ignored at her new school. No one wanted to be friends with her. She was still alone. Well, except for the band and her bodyguard, Byram. At first, they didn’t treat her like a normal person either. Then came the letter telling her she had been betrothed to a Prince Tahir Rajan. A terrible man. She knew of him and the things he was capable of. She wouldn’t marry him if she had her way. The question was how would she get out of marrying the Prince when her father had promised her to him?
