Prince Christopher and Anne quickly devise a plan, "royally fail as a couple so much, that even a blind person could see they would never work as King and Queen". The betrothed couple must walk a fine line of convincing the royal court and their parents they are not right for each other and being a royal couple for the people, to not instil fear for their nation's future leaders and give the rebellion brewing amongst the seven lands, fuel to their fire that is a threat to the monarchy. With royal dates specifically designed to make Princess Anne and Prince Christopher fall in love, expensive ball gowns at every life event no matter how small, engagement parties, wedding plans for a ceremony destined to fail, and a royal ball.

Set in a dystopian future where humans are forced to return to their Victorian Era ways to stop carbon emissions from rising and all the technological advancements made in the past are now drowned in seawater.

But tragedy struck her family and it had always been her moms dream. The first day she's there she makes a fool out of herself in front of the most popular group in all of Crestwood.

And the only way she'll survive is sticking with the Devara. That is ... If she doesn't kill them first. Mystery, romance, death, lies. A plot twist you won't see coming. Shadows of Ash and Gold.
