"After her kingdom falls, Princess Evelyn Vale is handed over to the enemy as the price of peace. But Queen Leona Valen doesn’t lock her away. Instead, she offers Evelyn a choice: survive the Royal Trials and win back her freedom.
Evelyn plans to leave the moment she can. But rivalry turns into trust, late-night training becomes something more, and the queen she was supposed to hate becomes dangerously hard to walk away from.
Between two crowns, however, love is never just love.
As power, freedom, and desire collide, Evelyn must decide whether she’s fighting to escape a palace—or a life everyone else has chosen for her."
