In a world ruled by crowns and duty, love is never simple.
Sixteen-year-old Prince Mateo Álvarez is the heir to the throne of Santo Domingo, trained to lead, to obey, and to carry the weight of his kingdom. When his parents arrange a marriage to a girl he has never met, he fears his future will be nothing more than a contract signed in ink.
Across the sea, Princess Amara Sinclair of Jamaica is sixteen as well, clever and spirited, raised to rule but not to love. When her mother commands her to travel to Santo Domingo to marry the Dominican prince, Amara must leave behind the hills of Kingston, the Blue Mountains, and her best friend Zahra al-Haddad, whose own life is a story of arranged alliances. With her cousin Nyla by her side, Amara faces a foreign court where every smile may hide a threat.
Two kingdoms. One arrangement. A fate neither of them controls.
In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets lurk in palace corridors, and every decision carries the weight of generations, can two sixteen-year-olds learn to trust each other... before duty tears them apart?
