THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER FROM THE HEIGHTS OF AN IVORY TOWER... Raised in a gilded cage, Princess Embrelynn despised her existence as the king's diplomatic coupon, her virgin abstinence up for auction. Frustrated by the farce and theatre of her father's soirees, she recoils at her queue of suitors. She had seen it all before, the same shallow promises, the same faces wearing different skins. It was all power, lust, and politics. But this time was not like the others. That night, fate dealt her a wildcard. Jarros Xangra, international war hero, a prodigious military general from a distant realm. A young veteran on a mission to negotiate safe passage for his army. Through his eyes, a fleeting gateway to the wider world and all its wonders. It cannot be unseen. Can Embrelynn still submit to the shackles of royal marriage knowing what lies beyond? Or will she flee, following his flame into the unknown, hoping they'll meet again? *** WONDERLUSTRE - ROYAL EDITION (15+) *** - Read Wonderlustre from the perspective of Embrelynn Telmayne - Canonically equivalent to Wonderlustre Classic Edition but retold from the princess's viewpoint - Features alternative descriptions filtered through Embrelynn's ideological lens - Contains prequel chapters and additional sociopolitical context - Contains additional dialogue and alternative translations - Explores romance, relationships, and the wider socio-political status of the world - Abbreviated fight scenes that reflect Embrelynn's lack of martial knowledge - Diminished violence - Moderate sexuality (implied and euphemistic) - Occasional explicit language - One hundred times more "sass" *Although this story has been tagged "Mature", Wonderlustre Royal Edition contains nothing that wouldn't appear in 15+ films/video games.
