In the Kingdom of Aurelion, marriage is not sacred - it is strategic.
Lilith enters royal life armed only with her independence and a sharp awareness of how easily freedom can be taken. Her marriage to Prince Alaric secures the future of the crown, but behind palace doors, it is a union built on silence rather than love.
Alaric is a prince shaped by restraint, bound to expectations that leave no room for truth. Together, they perform perfection for a court that watches, whispers, and waits for an heir.
Rumors spread. Alliances shift. And a foreign prince's arrival threatens the fragile balance they've constructed - awakening jealousy, loyalty, and grief in equal measure. Every gesture becomes political. Every kindness, suspect.
In a world where queerness is punished and appearances rule all, survival depends not on honesty, but on knowing when to remain silent - and when to stand together.
Lavender Beneath the Throne is an adult fantasy novel about power, secrecy, and the quiet courage it takes to live truthfully in a world that demands obedience.
