The Princess Enslaved

After Valeria fell, Princess Seraphina fled to Novara, where she was forced to engage Lucius—only to catch him with her own sister, Lavinia. Crown Prince Alaric, returning in triumph, recognizes Seraphina immediately and takes her from the scumbag. He seems cold and possessive, but he's been obsessed with her since she beat him in a sword duel years ago. While navigating his possessiveness and her family's betrayals, Seraphina enters the Spartan Arena Tournament to restore Valeria—defeating arrogant nobles with her swordsmanship, advancing step by step on her path of revenge and restoration.
