The Ultimate Sacrifice. Three Royal Hearts. One Broken Soul.
Can love survive when your world completely shatters?
Nora and her younger sister, Ava, were summoned to another world. Everyone believed Ava was the Saintess. They were wrong.
Now the truth has come to light. Nora is the true Saintess. But before she can accept her new role, a terrible tragedy changes everything.
Lost in grief, Nora feels as though the life she knew is slipping away. Even eating, sleeping, or smiling becomes difficult.
But she is not alone.
A king refuses to let her go and wants her by his side.
A quiet prince offers her comfort, a lucky charm, and his unwavering support.
A foreign prince promises to protect her and take her somewhere safer.
As Nora slowly begins to heal, she becomes more important to the kingdom. To its people, she is their hope. To others, she is someone worth fighting for.
But being the true Saintess comes with a price. Tradition says the Saintess must marry the King, while Nora's own heart is pulling her in a different direction.
Caught between a past she cannot forget and a future she never wanted, Nora must decide how she wants to live.
Can a broken heart heal? Can love survive such great loss? And with three royal men offering her their hearts, who will she choose?
