Echoes_of_07
She was born into duty, not love. A girl who lost her mother too soon, forgotten by her father, and left to grow in the shadows of a stepsister who was given everything. All she ever craved was something simple-to be loved, wholly and entirely.
But love, in the world of empires, is never simple.
Two men, two dynasties, two obsessions.
One burns with desire and pride, demanding her submission.
The other, feared by nations, kneels only to her.
Between crowns and bloodshed, she learns that love can heal scars as easily as it can carve new ones. And in the darkness of palaces and wars, sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't the sword...
-it's the heart that chooses where to bow.
