When a princess’s commoner true love is kidnapped to coerce her into a political marriage, she doesn’t give in—she goes to rescue him.
After King Sendoa’s mysterious death, Princess Amarande of Ardenia is given what would hardly be considered a choice: Marry a stranger at sixteen or lose control of her family’s crown.
But Amarande was raised to be a warrior—not a sacrifice.
With her kingdom on the brink of civil war and no one to trust, she’ll need all her skill to save her true love, her future, and her kingdom.
