Gwenalyn Hayes grew up reading fairytales, always hidden by books. The problem was that she never believed them. Stories that told her she'd fall in love, and be loved in return. That some dashing prince or kight in shinging armor would protect her. She knew better. Her mother and father, status obbessed, often would remind her she was not her own person- rather theirs- their blood. Desperate to escape from a life she was born into, she tries to find a way to make her own future. A revolution is coming, uprisings growing in number. The problem? No one knows. Jameson William McKendrick, crown prince of Etheria, is said to have it all, spoiled in the lap of luxery. However, it comes at a price, a legcay bought with blood. His parents turn a blind eye to the battles constatly growing closer, waving off his concerns and suggestions. Their solution? He find a bride. Thrust into court, Hayes stuggles to navigate the tension-frought waters, shunned by many; forced to find her place in a play she doesn't know, and a role she doesn't want. Brought to the attention of a pretentious prince, she ignores the warnings of her parents to stay away- unable to push this mysterious annoyance away. In a world about to be bloodied and broken, will either of them find their way? _______________________________________________________________ OhmyGosh ranked 211 out of 15k fairytale (1/17/2022)

I have extremely low expectations. I'm perfectly normal, average at pretty much everything and anything. But I guess when a idiotic, stupidly cute guy-who I totally don't like- suddenly is in my life, expectations change. All it took was one dare. One, stupid, stupid, dare. ________________________________________________________________ Oh My Gosh #332 out of 6.2k #truthordare (2/07/2023) y'all are miracle workers ;)
