In the kingdom of Aurelune, Princess Jennie Kim has spent her entire life preparing to become the perfect queen. She is graceful, intelligent, and admired by everyone-but behind her flawless image is a girl who has forgotten how to laugh and what it means to truly be free.
Everything changes when Lisa Manoban, the daughter of Duke Manoban, arrives at the palace.
Unlike every noble in the kingdom, Lisa refuses to follow expectations. She chooses laughter over tradition, joy over reputation, and dreams of becoming a royal jester instead of the powerful figure everyone expects her to be.
Princess Jennie finds Lisa reckless, annoying, and impossible.
Lisa finds Princess Jennie too serious, too controlled, and trapped behind her own crown.
But as their arguments turn into conversations, and their rivalry turns into something neither of them can explain, they begin discovering the parts of themselves they have hidden from the world.
With ancient magic awakening, court secrets unfolding, and enemies waiting in the shadows, Princess Jennie and Lisa must learn that some things cannot be controlled-including the heart.
A slow-burn fantasy romance about a princess who forgot how to smile and the jester who taught her how to live.
