Austora
In the kingdom of Austora, tradition is everything.
Princess Asaidylina Bordovaki’s entire life is centered around these traditions, as her family is upheld as the quintessential example for all. However, following her country’s customs has never come easy to Saidy due to her crippling anxiety, which has left her with few to call ‘friend’ besides her siblings. That is until one day, she has a charming chance encounter with a guard named Larklind, who long ago gave her a dance on the palace steps.
On a trip to the coast, Saidy’s world is turned upside down when an attack on her family leaves one of her siblings in perilous danger. With few to turn to, her growing bond with Larklind turns into her lifeline, her comfort. And suddenly, their friendship begins to blossoms into something more.
Old relationships are put to the test while new ones bloom like the petals of Saidy’s favorite flower. Foreign and domestic tensions fly, the tethers that bind her family fray, and her secret romance with the kind and courageous guard could cause her to lose everything important to her. With so much on the line, Saidy must make a choice—follow tradition or sacrifice it all for love.

I literally loved this book sm. The characters are so realistic and the authors writing has really evolved since her debut, more poetic and romantic. The pacing of the plot was good and it drew me in. I am really looking forward to the sequel which I may love even more than this one. And it's a clean Christian wholesome read.
