Ever since raiders from the north began attacking villages, Lady Nicole Montagna has known that defending her people would come at a cost. The betrothal of her sister Chloe to a neighboring lord seems the perfect solution, forging a powerful alliance. But shortly before the wedding, Nicole is shocked to discover that her sister is with child-and not by her husband-to-be. Now she must make a choice. She has just hours to decide . . . ~Should she tell her soldier brother-who will take swift, ruthless action to ensure the family's safety? ~Should she hold her tongue, let her sister deceive her husband into believing the child is his-and then hope Chloe can get away with the lie? ~Should she tell her family, hoping they will know the right thing to do? With the help of a magic mirror, Nicole lives out each path, fighting to protect herself and those she loves with the weapons she has: wits, herbs, and fortitude. But no matter her cleverness, neither she nor her family can escape unscathed-for there are repercussions she could never have foreseen, involving her own heart . . .
