A TREATY SEALED IN MAGIC. A FATE BORN OF MONSTERS. A LOVE FORETOLD BY LEGEND.
The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel. I've spent my life kneeling-to their will and to my father's.
As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king. I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight.
And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood. But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father's throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores.
The day a prince ruined my life. Now I'm crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him-bound to a future I didn't choose and a husband I barely know. Everyone wants me to be something I'm not-a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.
But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there's power in being underestimated?And what if-for the first time-I reached for it?Tropes:Enemies to LoversMagic, Myths and MonstersSlow-BurnForced ProximityArranged MarriageHidden IdentityHigh Stakes
