A defiant princess has sworn off love after a devastating heartbreak—until she meets a prince who actually captures her attention and makes her believe in second chances. But when hope threatens to shatter everything she's carefully rebuilt, Mareleau must decide whether to protect her heart or risk it all again. This is the origin story of how a young woman's quest for vengeance changed the fate of an entire kingdom, and it's utterly captivating if you love heroines who refuse to play by the rules.
