She was born to be a pawn. She chose to become a queen.
Lady Agnes has spent her life preparing for an arranged marriage to Hue, a union designed to secure peace in a fractured kingdom. But when Ronan-the ex she believed dead-returns with secrets that unravel everything, Agnes begins to question the life she was forced to accept.
A hidden twin. A prophecy the king tried to erase. A mother murdered to protect a lie.
As Agnes uncovers the truth behind her lineage and the brutal reign of King Richard, she joins forces with her twin brother Miles to challenge the throne itself. But power comes at a cost-and love, even more so.
In a world ruled by betrayal and blood, Agnes must choose between duty and desire, vengeance and forgiveness. And when the crown finally falls, she'll rise not as a bride-but as a ruler.
