The Barbarian's Princess

By Anastasia James

He was a barbarian from the north, considered heathen even by his enemies. After years of ruling his kingdom through wartime, he has forgotten what softness and gentleness feel like. Cold, calculating, and ruthless, he truly cares for his people. After years of conflict, the king decides it's time for peace. He proposes a marriage alliance to the king from the south, who can only offer his youngest daughter as a bride.

She was a princess, a free spirit with a stubborn streak who speaks her mind. Often found helping the commoners of the kingdom, she is beloved by them for her warmth and charm. Instead of fearing the barbarian king she's become betrothed to, she finds herself intrigued by him.

When the king arrives with a small unit of soldiers, whispers of barbarism follow him, but his undeniable presence commands respect. He spots a beautiful blonde haired woman on the street and is instantly mesmerized. Initially, he considers the possibility of taking her home as a consort after marrying the princess-only to discover at the wedding that she is his intended bride.

The journey back to the north is long and fraught with danger, but amid the tension, sparks fly between them. The king begins to see that this princess is no wilting flower; she possesses grit and determination that he finds irresistible. She thinks he's handsome despite his scars, and their playful banter evolves into a passionate connection. As they grow closer, the king becomes fiercely protective of her. Once they reach the northern kingdom, the princess must navigate court life and win over the people, bringing her vibrant spirit and lighthearted humor to a cold court, igniting a romance that transforms both their worlds.
