Nora is 28, with no love, no confidence, and nowhere she truly belongs.
She has spent her life being overlooked. While others found love and purpose, she remained invisible. Quiet, practical, and alone.
Then, without any warning, she is summoned to another world. But once again, she isn't the chosen one.
Her younger sister is hailed as the Saintess and destined to become the queen of the land, while Nora is left behind, unwanted and forgotten.
In a world where a woman's future depends on marriage, Nora is told to accept her fate. Marry. Obey. Disappear. But Nora refuses.
Instead, she begins to build something for herself, learning the rules of a foreign world, listening to the voices of its people, and searching for a life that is truly hers.
Yet the deeper she goes, the more complicated everything becomes.
There's Duse, a cold, sharp-tongued prince who sees people in terms of usefulness, yet watches Nora more closely than anyone else. And a charming prince from a neighboring country who offers her admiration, freedom, and a way out.
Then Nora begins to realize that her existence may hold more meaning than anyone ever believed.
When power, love, and truth begin to collide, Nora must make a choice. Not just about love, but about who she will become.
A slow-burn romantasy for adult women who want more than a fairy tale. A story of self-worth, difficult choices, and a love that must be earned.
Written in clear, easy-to-read English, this story is also suitable for intermediate English learners who want to enjoy a full-length fantasy romance.
