Gauri, princess of Bharata, has been captured by her kindgom's enemies and faces a future of exile and scorn--she has nothing left to lose. But Vikram, the notoriously cunning prince of a neighboring land, promises her freedom in exchange for her partnership on his team to win the Tournament of Wishes. It seems like a fool-proof plan--until Gauri and Vikram arrive at the tournament and find that danger takes on new shapes, and new trials test their devotion, strength, and wits at every turn. And they soon discover that there's nothing more dangerous than what they most desire. -- adapted from dust jacket.
