She was born to rule. He was ordered to protect.
But love was never part of the mission.
When her father, the king, dies under mysterious circumstances, Natalie von Sachs is thrust into the spotlight - the reluctant heir to a throne she never asked for. They say she's calm, mindful, and passionate. What they don't see is the girl buried beneath the crown - broken, bruised, and dangerously close to unraveling.
Enter David Tilman. Soldier. Shadow. Secret.
Tasked with protecting the future queen, he's everything she shouldn't want - and the only one who sees through her carefully built armor. Bound by a dying king's last wish and the oath he can't break, David is prepared to die for her.
He just didn't expect to fall for her.
In a palace where loyalty bleeds and secrets burn, love is the most dangerous betrayal of all.
