The Hidden Heir

By Azalea Carter

Verena has always lived in the shadow of the crown she was meant to inherit. Overlooked by her family and underestimated by the kingdom, she has learned to rely on herself, and no one else.

But on the night she is to be crowned, everything changes. An attack shatters the celebration, forcing her to flee and leave behind her title, her name, and the carefully hidden life she has built. Alone in a world that does not know who she truly is, survival becomes her only rule. Then she meets Rowan - the dark-haired, auburn-eyed man whose friend she saved. For the first time, Verena finds herself caught between safety and something far more dangerous: trust, friendship, and a life that feels like it could finally belong to her.

Some secrets are worth protecting.

Some truths are worth risking everything for.
