Raised as a prince. Born as a secret. Morpheus has lived her whole life behind a lie-forced to hide her true identity in order to survive within the walls of a powerful kingdom. She was trained to fight, speak, and rule like a man, but beneath the armor and duty lies a girl burdened with a dangerous heritage and a heart full of forbidden longing. When a political marriage binds her to Minerva, a mysterious princess with a sharp gaze and a hidden softness, their worlds begin to shift. What starts as distance slowly becomes curiosity... and something far more perilous. Dark forests whisper ancient secrets. Blood runs deeper than loyalty. And love-if discovered-could ignite a war. Morpheus must choose between protecting the secret her mother died for... or embracing the truth that could destroy her. A tale of disguise, desire, and a destiny written in shadows. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, forbidden romance, and royal intrigue.
