The Crown

When Eadlyn opens her own Selection—Illéa's famous competition where suitors compete for her heart—she's convinced it's all ceremonial pageantry she has to endure. But as palace drama intensifies and she finds herself genuinely connecting with some of her thirty-five competitors, Eadlyn discovers that maybe, just maybe, she's been wrong about needing to rule alone. What starts as a reluctant obligation transforms into something real and complicated, forcing her to question everything she thought she wanted. With the weight of a kingdom watching her every move, Eadlyn has to figure out who she is beyond the crown—and whether she's brave enough to choose love.
