She thought her heart belonged to a prince. But fairy tales don't always follow the rules...
Ann never expected to fall for Prince Ryan-the forbidden brother with a teasing smile and a gaze that lingers too long. But after the palace is shaken by King Mark's sudden death, everything changes. Secrets swirl beneath the surface, and danger creeps closer with every glittering ball and whispered promise.
As Ann, King Christian, and Prince Ryan search for answers, the palace becomes a maze of lies, loyalty, and longing. And when a bold, sinfully charming Knight begins to pursue her with open desire, Ann must decide: wait for the prince who keeps his distance, or surrender to the one who's ready to fight for her heart?
One girl. Two suitors. A kingdom on edge.
