RoseSG95
One rebel prince. An innocent heiress. A kingdom built on secrets.
In the opulent, glittering world of Norland, power is a game played behind closed doors and enforced by the rigid rules of the High Houses.
For Prince Henry, the ultimate prize is freedom from his father's suffocating crown, even if he must burn the realm's delicate peace to achieve it. For Lady Rose, born into the protective warmth of Halberd Hall, the world is a tapestry of ancient legacies she is destined to inherit-or break. But as the sins of their parents catch up to the present, a forbidden, long-buried romance threatens to shatter the fragile alliance keeping the kingdom whole.
As the old guard fights to maintain its grip, a new generation is thrust into the fire. From the sun-dappled orchards of childhood innocence to the ruthless machinations of the Gilded Quarter, Henry and Rose must navigate a web of loyalty, betrayal, and desire.
When the dust settles, who will wear the crown, and who will be destroyed by the legacy they carry?
A propulsive, multi-generational epic of royal intrigue, hidden passion, and the deadly cost of ambition
