Crown Princess Y/N Evermere has spent her entire life preparing to inherit a throne she never wanted. While the rest of Eldoria sees a future queen, Y/N has always seen herself as a warrior, one unwilling to ask others to fight battles she would not face herself. When war threatens the kingdom, Y/N defies her father’s orders and secretly joins military operations under the command of the infuriatingly steadfast Rhys Hawthorne. As tensions rise and the line between duty and desire begins to blur, Y/N finds herself fighting a war on two fronts: one for her kingdom and one against the feelings growing for the man who sees her as more than a crown. But as loss reshapes the future she thought she understood, Y/N must decide what kind of ruler she wants to become. Because some women are born to wear crowns. Y/N Evermere was born to change what they mean.
