Eloise had never thought she would return to the palace again, after her mothers death. Eloise accepts the invitation and is thrown into palace life. As soon as she arrives, trouble follows her (due to her need to always cause mischief wherever she goes). Charles's charm and good nature attracts her to him instantly but soon she realises that the feelings she holds for the Prince may not just be what a friend should feel. Other questions soon appear, secrets to do with her mother, which gets Eloise wondering was her mothers freak accident, really all that much of an accident. Join Eloise as she navigates her way through romance, deception, betrayal, friendships, and a lot of fun and interesting moments in between.

Prince Gavrila is, to put it lightly, rather unhappy about having been dragged home from the war. However he is tasked with the petty tradition every king must honour; choosing his bride. Whilst there are six months avaliable with which to get to know his ten possible fiancees, Gavrila is determined spend as little time as possible away from the front lines, eager to return to the fight and win the war. Yet it seems the front lines may be harder and harder to return to, with the threat of rebellion and a much bigger fight call him to his father's side, whilst a girl who barely deserves a place in his season is tugging at the strings of his heart. For a cover like mine, please go talk to @subconscious_bitch. She made this one and that of the sequel with incredible accuracy and real professionalism. She seems like a really nice human as well :)
