To live, Aileen must out-run the government, but when she makes friends on the wrong side, she discovers a secret about herself she had never known.

But even her mother's ruthless training cannot strip away Alethia's humanity buried deep within her. When her mother, Queen Liliana, breaks a Peace Treaty with the Gera Kingdom and begins a deadly war, Alethia must do the one thing she thought was impossible: stop her mother. An action-packed story about friendship, love, loyalty, power, and how far one princess is willing to go to save everything she cares about. {Word count: ~130,000} Highest achievements/Impressive rankings #3 in warriors out of 34.7K stories #1 in gemstones out of 2K stories #5 in tyrant out of 491 stories #48 in darkfantasy out 5.1K stories Previously featured in wattpad community creator reading list Awards 1st Place in fantasy: The Cerulean Awards (2020)
