Genevieve Delora is chosen as the newest prophet for the royal family, which is a saving grace to her struggling family. What the royal family isn't aware of is that she's cursed to destroy the kingdom on the dawn of her seventeenth birthday and that her job at the palace may be her only hope in breaking the curse. Gen is immediately overwhelmed with tyrannical kings, political plans, and buried secrets among the royals, but she's running out of time. With the help of new friends in the castle (and some friends on the sea) including the "charming" and always silent prince and his friendlier sister, Genevieve seeks to track down an ancient map that leads to the staff of the gods- the only object that can prevent the curse and save the kingdom. However, there's a power greater than Olumia knows lurking in the shadows, and he's after the staff too. Is fate always set in stone, or is the future still up for changing? Features a strong main lead, a gay princess who's engaged to a prince, an all-women privateer crew who rules the sea, friendships, family, an incredibly "will they, won't they" slow burn, myths and folklore, magical gifts, and a diverse cast of characters.
