In the mist-veiled kingdom of Avalon, 17-year-old Princess Iris of House Elowen waits behind gilded bars-her life planned, her future promised, her freedom locked away until her 18th birthday. Destined to marry Prince Draco of Calypso, a proud and formidable match that could unite two great kingdoms, Iris hides a dangerous secret: she's fallen for a boy she's never met. Ambrose, a clever and soft-spoken peasant boy from the forest villages, is her forbidden pen pal. Their letters-smuggled past castle guards and locked doors-are filled with dreams, secrets, and a yearning that threatens to burn through every royal decree. As the day of her release approaches, Avalon prepares for a wedding. But Iris prepares for a rebellion of the heart. When Ambrose makes a daring move to reach her, and Draco arrives to claim his bride, secrets unravel in a tangle of velvet lies, magic, and passion. Can a caged heart choose freedom? Or will destiny forge a crown of sorrow?
