'When the King owns your words, who will own your heart?

'Manipulated by a vicious King, Jeremiah is stripped of his identity and forced into a life of silent submission as a Whisperer. Allowed only to speak at the command of the King, one thousand Whisperers must line up in rows and chant their sadistic ruler's darkest desires. As each evil wish comes true, the King's power over his impoverished kingdom grows.

'When Jeremiah's fears for the family he left behind are confirmed, he turns in desperation to the most unlikely person for help--the King's eldest daughter. But is Princess Rose as kind as she is beautiful, or will she lure him into a trap?

'To save those dearest to him, Jeremiah has no choice but to put his trust in Rose, whose own life is threatened as her father prepares to clear the path to the throne for his newborn son. Together they embark on a bold plan to overthrow the King and set the Whisperers free.

'As love blossoms in this most unlikely place, Jeremiah and Rose must discover how to use the power of the spoken word to conquer more than just the kingdom. They will need to conquer their hearts.'
