In a world where power is won through blood and betrayal, a forgotten princess is given an impossible choice. Y/N has spent her life in the shadows of a small, overlooked kingdom-trained to be strong but never destined to rule. But when a secret letter arrives from Ithaca's desperate queen, everything changes. A marriage. A hidden alliance. A boy-king drowning beneath the weight of his father's absence. With Ithaca on the verge of collapse, Y/N is thrust into a world of danger and deception, where suitors feast on the ruins of a once-great kingdom, and whispers of war grow louder by the day. She was never meant to be a queen, but if she plays her role well enough, she might just survive long enough to become one. Yet Telemachus is not the cold, broken prince she expected. And as tensions rise and secrets unravel, Y/N begins to realize that in this game of gods and kings, the greatest threat may not come from the suitors at Ithaca's door-but from the heart she never meant to lose.
