Rise from the Swap

Celia Morton and Verity Morton were sisters whose fates diverged because of a swapped marriage. Celia married into Prince Huxley's household and earned her place with wit and courage. She helped pacify rebellions, governed the Maritime Bureau, and became a woman of her time. Verity, consumed by obsession and revenge, clung to others for power—and was eventually executed. Their lives stand in sharp contrast, showing the power of independence and self-reliance. Together, Celia and Prince Huxley built a legend—side by side, through peace and war, shaping the empire they would come to share.
