a kingdoms heart
Princess Iris lives a life of comfort and duty, but she longs for something real. One evening, she slips away from the castle to watch a play, pretending to be a simple healer. There she meets William, a young knight soon to be honored by the king. His quiet strength and sincerity capture her attention in a way she did not expect.
****
William is devoted to his duty and the life he has trained for. When he meets a gentle healer at the theatre, he finds himself wanting to see her again. She is kind and thoughtful, yet there is something about her he cannot quite understand.
****
As their paths continue to cross, Iris struggles to keep her secret, and William begins to sense the truth. If he learns who she truly is, his loyalty to the crown will be tested, and Iris will have to face what her choices have set in motion.

Real rating is 4.5/5 stars. Only because I feel like the writing is a little sloppy and there’s grammar and spelling issues, which is a big pet peeve for me. But I’m giving the author the benefit of the doubt because it is a new book. All over super easy read. I enjoyed it a lot. I wish there was more fmc character building though. She slowly becomes more and more strong and badass, so hopefully in book 2?

I love this book. The vibe and the aesthetic made me feel like I was in the Middle Ages. The story really had an impact on me and I can’t wait for the second book.

All I can say is W O W. The world building, the heartbreaking plot, the utter yearning that these characters have for each other, the DETAILS in the writing, I truly felt like I was there. Calisa Azmelle, you have managed to go head to head with authors twice your age! I am SO excited to see what happens next in this series!

So I wanna start this by saying that I liked the writing, this isn't the best I've came across in my life but it was good. And it had sooo much potential...
Sadly, there were so many things that were not good, at all.
First thing first, the layout of the book is just bad, the cover is cut, the font of the title is not the same in all the words but there is no reason behind it, seems like a mistake to me. When I opened the book, I was surprised to see that the words stoped at the half of the page, so why use such big pages if you don't use it properly ?
To me, it seems like everything was done on a rush, and there was not much thoughts behind all of it.
Now, I'm gonna talk about the story on itself :
I'm supposed to be reading a romance, or a romantasy, but the romance is bad, and the worldbulding doesn't even exist.
The Princess, named Iris, falls in love with the kinght, William, in less than 3 interactions, and I'm not kidding. They are madly in love (with declarations and all) at the page 85. It all goes sooooo quickly that I thought I've missed a all book before this one. But no.
The princess, is supposed to be 17, but she acts like a child, a little thing, that could break at anything. She keeps disobeying her father (that's not the problem) and when he confronts her she almost cries and keeps saying that she "won't do it again", and guess what ? next chapter, she does it all over again.
She's always apologizing for no reason, "it's all my fault" okay now stop crying and acting like a damn child ?
When a girl is acting a little bit flirty with the knight, she came and said "he's mine", like please I'd rather die than read this part again.
When people are there to KIDNAP her, her friends come in action to defend her but she tells them to "let them go" ? I mean, girl you are under a threat, try to act the way you should.
She is supposed to have a friend, Astrid, who she, once again, is supposed to see often, but then we don't see her for almost the entire book.
Now that we are on the subject of the girls and friends and all, I want to say I was very much disappointed with it. ALL THE GIRLS, and I truly mean it, are there to serve the story, and they are ALWAYS in love with a man, or fighting for a man. No women in this book are alive without needing a man. Of course, the said friend Astrid, is a bitch, who is "soooo prettier than me" and all that bullshit, and of course she is a redhead girl so she is a witch ! And of course another girl will be physicaly violent with the princess over a man !
Moving on to the Knight. Ofc he starts as being non interested in the girl, and in the next chapter he'll just fall madly for her. He is OVERPROTECTIVE and OVERPOSSESSIVE over her, he's 20 and acts like she's a little doll, ew.
She's the only one who can stop him when he's being violent (and she's okay with him being violent, just if she can't see it), she's the only one who can wake him up when he's in a coma, because he sensed her BESTFRIEND comforting her... the list could go on and on.
I think if he doesn't say once a chapter how he'd rather die than be without her, he actualy dies, because I swear I read at least 30 times the same thing "I want us to be together, I'd prefer to die than live far from you" and etc.
Last part, the threart she is supposed to be under :
We hear from it at the beginning of the book, but then it goes away, even tho we know the problem isn't resolved yet, but we are more focused on her saying how she won't go out of the castle again, than hearing about the huge threat she is facing.
Her father, is he good or mean ? I don't really know, and I don't think anyone knows.
I'm gonna end this review by saying that there were very good ideas for this book, but I think everything was done too quickly, without a true good thought. Every scene "important" was placed there only for tiktok, like "OMG HE SAID THAT" "OMG HE DID THAT" yes he did but the whole book doesn't have much sense so who cares about how hot the knight is.
One word : disappointed

This was really really good I couldn't stop reading it!! It perfectly fits the princess x knight trope.
October 27, 2025
Very much worth reading!! I’m in love with the characters and their storylines. If you look for forbidden love type of book this is the one I’m recommending!😊
December 1, 2025
3.75 ⭐️ i did enjoy this for what it was. it was story book vibes, classic forbidden love. you cant help but to root for them, not much depth but i liked it.
December 3, 2025
With the recent knight x princess trope trending on social media, I was desperately searching for a book that matched the vibe… And this was it!!!! This is a fantastic book that I read extremely fast and left me wanting more! I am so excited for the series to continue and to watch Iris and William’s story grow.
November 22, 2025
I lovedd this book. I just started reading it yesterday and I finished it just now at 2am. Once I picked it up I couldn’t stop. Each page made me more and more invested in this incredible story, I had to stay up in order to finish it. Although it had a few grammar mistakes, the writing was phenomenal. The way she told and executed their story was so incredibly amazing. I can’t wait to read more about them. I needed the continuation of their story like yesterday. It’s so gooddd!!
November 30, 2025
It was good but I really really hate cliffhangers.

4.5 ⭐️
Writing 2.5/5 (repetitive vocabulary, but easy to read & descriptive)
Characters 5/5 (soft fmc, protective mmc)
Plot 5/5 (secrets and political intrigue)
Setting 5/5
Dual pov, 1st person
Themes: princess x knight, mmc falls first and hard, fake identity, secrets, forbidden love, royalty, cruel king, betrayal, strong love, kingdoms and political intrigue, heartwarming moments, yearning, lots of heartbreak and angsttt!
⚠️ self harm, abuse, violence, injuries, light descriptions of blood, wounds and torture.
Congratulations to the author for self publishing her book as a high school student. I loved every bit of this book from the first page, very engaging and a quick read.
The content from BookTok and the princess x knight vibe with forbidden love and angsty quotes got me!
I’ve always looked for a book with that vibe, and was never able to find one, this book comes the closest and the writer has so much potential. The storyline was so good!
Anyone who loves that viral golden brown song with the princess and a prince getting married with the knight in tears at their side, should read this!!!
I do think the author needs an editor like every other writer. There were some grammar and spelling mistakes, which aren’t a major impact but often enough to be noticeable. I know an editor will for sure help with enhancing this book, and would make a great difference.

Tbh I liked this book.
Writing: good
Story: good, just wished a little more screentime for Carlos considering he’s her supposed bestfriend
FMC: really gentle, I honestly prefer thougher ones but that’s alright.
MMC: love how he’s protective but it’s kinda giving stereotypical main male character.
All in all, I like how everything in the story connects. Nothing appears without having meaning later in the story, which I like.
The end was a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions. I didn’t know exactly what to think and how to write this without spoiling but it was a kinda sad ending but at the same time good?
Would I buy the second book: yes.
The story is good but some of the characters really need to change such as Astrid and Lorenzo. I really hope to see a character improvement in the next book.
Edit (that 1 stars review idk what its yapping abt, I didn’t see any of those scenes it mentioned….?😭 and the sheer disrespect considering she’s 17….God get a life. There’s a difference between a bad review and straight up criticism. Ew

I have nothing negative to say. This book was a damn masterpiece and I enjoyed reading it so much. I loved the writing and the world building.
If this is how she wrote at 17 then I can only imagine how far beyond amazing she’ll be at 18. im so impressed and wish this author nothing but success

I’ve seen loads of knight and princess videos on TikTok so I decided to read a book with this vibe and this didn’t disappoint. The forbidden love made my heart break, William was such an angel and honestly I’m just going to pretend that the last two pages didn’t happen. Beautiful story.
December 29, 2025
Very YA but storyline was surprisingly better than expected.
This is a princess X knight forbidden romance.
Be prepared! There are a ton of grammatical errors throughout the book.

legit read this in one sitting need next book now 😭
November 29, 2025
This book was really good, but I just wish there was more to it. The romance felt a little shallow, and some parts were predictable, but honestly, for a 16-year-old author, you really did your thing! The writing style was simple but hooking I finished it in one day! I was really impressed by how young you are and how well you wrote this. 🙂↕️😌

I genuinely liked this. It was an interesting plot and I liked how the relationship between main characters progressed. It was really cute. Of course there are things to work on but it was amazing for the first time. Better written than some established and popular authors I’ve read❤️❤️❤️
August 6, 2025
Cute cover, thought I wished there was more to it. However im not here to judge the cover, just the book
I think it was a great read. I finished it in two days and I’ve seen people raving about it on tiktok. Obviously like some books, they’re either hated or loved and I think this is the case for this book. I’m on the side that loved it and here’s why:
They fall in love on the start, showing that the point of the book isn’t about their lovestory, rather them trying to find their way back together despite challenges and laws.
Let’s move on to princess iris. She’s a soft FMC who’s been through a lot and breaks easily. That’s alright for me and I won’t say much considering she lost her brother and her father has harsh standards for her.
Sir William the knight. He’s very overprotective and I like that about him. It’s cute. Some may say it’s too much while others may say it’s the standard. I’m on the standard team.
Now let’s move on to a a character I dislike. Astrid. Very bratty and acts like she’s entitled to whatever. She ditched her own bestfriend for a prince? Oh please honey🙄. I seriously hope she doesn’t return in the second book or gets a character improvement.
The king was good at the start but turned evil after Lorenzo came in the picture. Seriously, hope he gets a character improvement too. Glad he got kidnapped lolllll
ONE WORD: GOOD

Pretty sure i went through the 5 stages of grief. Honestly an amazing book. Need another book x
November 6, 2025
Fell for the tiktok quotes and this time it failed me.
These reviews are fluffed. This book reads as a wattpad book full of imagines. The plot itself is inherently interesting, the kingdom is at stake and her life is at risk. Iris and William fall in love almost right away with little to few interactions. This would be great if you could feel the yearning or intensity. How are you in love after 6 interactions and 135 pages? I’m just not buying it.
I was gifted a physical copy of this book but the formatting is all wrong. The book reads like an awkward text message due to all the typos and misspelled grammar…. And you cannot forget the amount of “…” she includes in conversation. The characters while they have struggles and problems were flat and two dimensional….. I wanted more from each of them.
I don’t know if this fantasy world took place hundreds of years ago or decades into the future. With the way they speak it feels like it takes place in the current day which really pulls you out of the story. The story lacked details and immersion, I was never once pulled into the world itself.
I wish there had been way more build up for the bathtub scene. I loved that scene but it felt so out of place? William hadn’t been affectionate until this point so why the sudden switch up? Maybe because he’s already saved her life countless times?
Had I read this on wattpad at 14 years old I would’ve given this a 5/5. Called it a masterpiece and casted William with Harry Styles. But that’s not what happened. Instead I read a half baked draft with a slightly interesting plot. I loved the magic and pirates. Honestly I wished for Iris and the Pirate, Carlos. Princess and Pirates always intrigue me.
Normally I love Princesses x Knights. But William was childish and boring. He didn’t yearn and he shouldn’t have earned. I will say I loved the damsel in distress like yes go save her! But I wish there had been more substance in between. All he did was constantly save her. It gets to the point where I can’t care anymore. Like Princess Peach and Mario.
I also loved the arranged engagement, forbidden love is my weakness! But once again William doesn’t yearn or feel scared he just says “You will always be mine… and I will always be yours. Always”. Love that and all but show me your distress, the agony, the longing. If you told me a young teenager wrote this I’d see her potential. But this isn’t an english assignment.
I apologize for the harsher review, I just had really high expectations for this one.

3.5/5 🌟
Me animé a leer este libro porque caí en la propaganda Princess x Knight de TikTok.
Fue una lectura ligera y entretenida, muy fácil de seguir. Me enamoré de Iris y de William, sobre todo me encantó que William no es para nada posesivo ni emocionalmente atrofiado, fue una bocanada de aire fresco. Iris también es un amor, y aunque algunas de sus decisiones o reacciones puedan parecer sin sentido o contradictorias, hay que recordar que tiene 17 años, y definitivamente actúa como tal. Otra cosa que amé fueron las descripciones de los sentimientos y sensaciones de los personajes.
El libro sí da las vibes de época medieval, pero más worldbuilding hubiera sido genial. Asimismo, la trama no fue nada del otro mundo, y hay por ahí algunos agujeros argumentales y aspectos que me hubiera encantado fueran más detallados, pero en general estuvo decente.
No es una obra maestra, pero sí está súper bien como lectura ligera y por si quieres leer algo del trope Princess x Knight. 🩷👑⚔️

NOW THIS! THIS IS WHAT I CALLED A ROMANCE NOVEL!
This story is everything I want. It's simple and cute, and focuses on friendship and love, rather than lust and desire. It's a simple story just like Romeo and Juliette. It definitely reminds me of those simple stories written back in the days, which is GOOD BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT A STORY SET IN MEDIVAL TIMES SHOULD SOUND LIKE!
Iris is a soft fmc-which I LOVE! meanwhile William's the tough masculine mmc. What I love about him is how he isn't one of those "cold" mmc's who's disrespectful to everyone. HE CARRIES STRENGHT AND YET IS KIND AND GENTLE.
Let's move on to Raven. REPRESENTATION FOR US TALL GIRLIES? YESSSS!
All in all, this is a cute story, clearly meant for a younger audience like myself or for people who enjoy a simple cute romance story. I really can't wait to see what else this author will write.

4,5/5 but I rounded it up to 5...because thats basic math...!
This is such a cute story. it shows love between class-differences. On one side, we have the servant/healer and the prince and then we have princess iris and knight William. One side chooses, the throne and duty over their loved one, meanwhile the other choose their lover above all. It's beautiful how there's no right or wrong answer, but it's something that keeps the reader hooked!
This is a simple story, suited for teenagers. I love how simple it was. To me, sometimes less is more--and this is more!
I can't wait to see what else Calisa Azmelle will be adding to this story, and I will be waiting. I can defininetly see this as a successful trilogy.

I really enjoyed this book, similar to other comments there is a few spelling errors which did ruin the immersion a bit (I.e, when the king tells William he is to be Iris’ personal guard while they travelled for her wedding, it said the “king was shitting on his throne”).
I was hoping it would expand more on Raven and the princes love story a bit, from how this book was promoted, I assumed it would be chapters depicted by Iris and William until about halfway through and then have Raven and the princes POV.
Overall I liked it, I felt very connected to the characters and was invested in their story.

This book was a lovely read- I finished it in literally 2 days! I honestly could not put the book down, the storyline was well crafted and made me want to keep reading it. The only advise I would give is grammar and punctuation, if it could be re-read and edited, that would make it 5/5. I bought it on kindle, some speech marks and full stops were missing, and 'catched' was used instead of caught. Other than the grammar/spelling, it was easy to ignore because I was lost again in the storyline. It was a wonderful read!

November 15, 2025I love William with all my heart and the book is written well. HOWEVER I really hate these types of tropes aka(princess, knight, maid, prince and ofc a horrible father) I had no idea what I was getting myself into self into other than the princess and knight part but hoooooweeee there’s a plot twist. Overall it felt rushed and the cliffhanger pissed me off cuz why are you disturbing there peace ?? Anyways I will not be reading the second book but enjoyed this one I guess.
