She was the Emerald Palace heiress, shining bright in the sky. She had the world at her feet, but not a soul by her side. Her mother was a rose, sweet and thorny in her love. Her father was a star, gone too soon from above. Her stepfather was a snake, slithering in the dark. Her stepbrothers were her allies, each with their own spark. Her school was a warzone, where blood and lies were spilled. Her enemies were many, but her friends were few and skilled. She had to face the storms, and find the rainbow's end. She had to seek the truth, and mend what was broken. She was Elvira Ashton, the Emerald Palace heiress. Follow her in a journey of feisty friendships, unexpected rivalries, spun in a tale of saccharine romance.

The crown is a rather cruel concept. Where it inspires, it invokes tyranny; Where it threatens the faint-hearted, it empowers the conniving. Perhaps, that is why to Sophie Ruewen, it is deserving of being all the more condescending... _____________________________ Her reflection stared back at her. She saw the mask she had crafted from the ashes of a disdainful past. All she saw in the mirror was an amicable queen - her youthfulness yet to be marred by an equally disdainful series of events. Little did the mirror know how wonderfully she had trained her mask on. Because, Sophie thought, at that moment, looks couldn't have been any more deceiving... _____________________________ Keefe's eyes open to a new world. Finding himself in a reality where the people he once knew are lost in the cruelty of the crown, the dimness of today blurs as all the secrets unravel: Feuds between colossal kingdoms. Untold allies. Love blossoming. And the beauty of comradeship in the most unexpected of ways. Find the beloved characters of KOTLC in a twisted tale of royalty!
