"Your grace, I will die protecting you. Nothing matters to me more than you do. I am desperate for you. I yearn for you. So much so that I find myself incapable of breathing, with the realization that you are not mine to have."

The year is 1400.
Queen Snow White I, now in her late forties, is alone on the throne of the Kingdom of Sonnenmark, her rule hardened, darkened, and stricter than she had ever been in her youth. But on the twenty-and seven-year-old Lady Katharina von Eichenburg, a victim of loss and of unimaginable cruelty, the Queen's rule becomes suffocating enough for her to seek treason out by its horns.
When her lover is torn away from her and killed, and she is forced into a political marriage, Katharina finds herself allying with another Queen, someone who had been infinitely kinder to her than anyone had ever been, against Queen Snow White I. Taking on the role of a spy at court and vowing to sow revenge for all that she had suffered, Kath begins her own journey of cruelty.
But then her path crosses with that of a jester, the thirty-year old Ivar Onfroi, a warrior merely disguised as a jester, and Katharina finds her world thrown off its axis as her cold heart begins to slowly but surely throb again. She begins to find him at the start and end of everything, her desperation turning its claws into itself. But treason doesn't go undiscovered, unpunished or without a result, each aspect damning in its own away.
