When it's rumored that the kingdom needs a new Lily Maid, beautiful ambassadors of perfume magic, an underprivileged girl escapes to the capital for the coveted title, stirring up long-held prejudices and a deadly scandal behind the Lilies that threatens her life. *** Eighteen-year-old Zipporah Monrose wants nothing else but to be a Lily Maid--beautiful ambassadors of enchanted perfumes known to beguile the senses. The weekly wages could sustain her family out of impoverishment. When it's rumored that the kingdom needs a new Lily, she departs from her small town for the title. A stay at a boarding house acquaints her with Perley Elliot, a faultless, budding Lily. Perley's selected to compete in the Lily Trials--an assessment of their grace, poise, and affinity with fragrance. Begging is Zipporah's last hope. Perley's pitying plea, and that The Crown prides itself on its progressiveness, plants Zipporah in the competition as a Lily Bud, against twenty-four ambitious girls. Scandalous gossip about the death of Claudie Beary, the Lily they're vying to replace, doesn't dishearten them. Zipporah's social status makes her susceptible to their disparagement. Her presence in the Trials has also garnered her Perley's cold shoulder. Except Zipporah owns one bestowed spritz of perfume from her oldest friend, a former Lily. The perfume makes itself into an indispensable fragrance, enough to win the Lily Trials. But no amount of perfume can mask her predecessor's loveliness. Zipporah fails to exceed Claudie in every way. As Claudie's assailant remains at large, Zipporah puts her life in peril when she uncovers incriminating letters between Claudie and her paramour. In a realm where Lily Maids are more coveted than perfume, the only thing worse than an undesirable Lily is a dead one. Copyright © 2026 T.A. Joseph All rights reserved

Lydia Almodine is the newest lady-in-waiting for Queen Seraphine. After recently moving to the kingdom of Crutonia, with no living relatives and no place to call home, she's content with lying low at her new job. Besides, the fewer people who know her secret, the better... But once she encounters Seraphine's younger brother, the handsome yet arrogant Prince Aurelius, he's instantly drawn to her - and worse, he discovers her secret: that she has the ability to shift into a large, scaly dragon with a greedy habit of hoarding treasure. Misunderstandings lead the ambitious prince to come to two false conclusions: that to free Lydia of her dragon 'curse', he must either slay her dragon form - or seduce her human form. Even as Lydia strives to keep her shifting secret under wraps, Prince Aurelius is just as fiercely determined to 'free' her. Through fighting and flirting, the two inescapably cross paths time and time again; but as their struggle for control grows, so does the attraction between them. Lydia's chances of keeping a low profile diminish the more she sees the prince - yet he's the only one she can truly be herself around. Soon, she realizes that the only challenge harder than controlling her dragon side... is stopping Prince Aurelius' charms from capturing her heart.
