Princess Alexis of Galdorn has always lived a life of duty, trained to be obedient and loyal. Her destiny is to marry her childhood best friend, Prince Derek, and unite their kingdoms. But on the day her future is meant to begin, everything she thought she knew shatters. As chaos erupts, her true heritage is revealed, along with a new identity she never imagined. A world of beauty and danger awaits her just beyond her golden castle walls.
When the dark Fae Queen returns to claim what is hers, death and destruction spread across the realms. Entire kingdoms burn, magical creatures are hunted, and a forgotten rebellion rises, with Alexis determined to protect her people and the magic that binds her to this world. Amid the war, she must learn to control her newfound abilities while navigating the treacherous lines between loyalty, love, and survival.
Her heart is pulled in two directions. There is the prince she grew up with, bound to her by years of trust and shared dreams—but whose grief and desperation make him unpredictable. Then there is her sworn protector, a charming and infuriatingly confident knight who hides his devotion beneath a Playboy exterior. Both bonds are tested by war and the secrets they all carry.
Caught between duty and desire, Alexis must rise to face the dark power threatening to consume everything she loves. The fate of two kingdoms—and the fragile existence of magic itself—rests on her shoulders.
