Well, the next book is basically about figuring out who framed you and then once you do finding Tariq to collaborate your story, because the person who framed you can't. I think the king breaks up with Madeleine at the end of chapter 15, pretty much the second your name is completely cleared (he was engaged to her, because it was clear that was what was wanted and he felt that was the best way to protect you. She knows this and doesn't care). In chapter 16 he will propose to you. If your love interest is someone else you turn him down and tell him who your love interest is. This can be any of the other three love interests (because Maxwell becomes a love interest in chapter 14) even if you have had no romantic interactions with them whatsoever. You can still play the field (if you want) for the rest of the book. If Hana is your love interest, she proposes near the end of the book. If Drake or Maxwell is, they propose in the next one after the events that lead the cliffhanger of that one.

Overall, I really liked book 2. There's way more to it than the facts I laid out, but it would take a while to tell you all about it. As a Maxwell fan I was especially thrilled when he became an option and it is super cute if you tell him you have feelings for him in chapter 14.
