What happened to The Phillips Girl? People have been asking questions about a little girl for twenty-five years...an innocent child in a yellow coat who vanished without a trace...who had no idea what was going to happen to her. Lots of secrets lie beneath the surface of the old money, culture, and elegance of Ashbourne, the capital of Leoria. There are years of mysteries, resentments, and grief hidden in its heart. Did the Phillips family really get destroyed by the Salvatores and the Ryders? Maybe...Maybe not. The history might be a lot more complicated. And when a group of young people starts searching for answers...they find each other instead and begin to fall for people they were never supposed to love. Because the heart doesn't really follow logic or convenience, right? When their families have spent decades hating each other, can love and friendship change a path built on hatred?

Three years ago, Crown Prince Andrew of Avaloria vanished without a trace. One moment, he was the future of the kingdom-the next, a ghost in the wind. Despite endless searches, no one has seen or heard from him since. The royal family remains silent. The people demand answers. Veronica Neale has only known the quiet life behind the walls of St. Augustine's Orphanage. Her days are filled with books, whispered dreams, and the steady presence of her closest friends: Finn Harren and Levi Sinclair. But when Levi begins acting strangely-distant, guarded, like someone carrying a secret-Veronica starts to wonder if she ever really knew him at all. Then everything changes. A single discovery sends Veronica and Levi fleeing into a world of danger and rebellion. They're swept into the heart of a kingdom in turmoil, where a powerful advisor named Lord Vale is quietly tightening his grip on the throne, and the only way to stop him may be to uncover hidden truths. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Veronica must decide who she is, who she can trust... and whether she's truly ready to step into a destiny far greater than she ever imagined. **BOOK 1 OF THE LEGACY OF AVALORIA TRILOGY**
