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?
