"I'm just a page, Your Majesty. What could possibly go wrong?" Ollie Amber-Rose Dawson, Duchess of Wessex, never asked for this. Being a page for a 22-year-old king? Absolutely not on her to-do list. But, as usual, life didn't care about her plans. When Ollie's forced into the royal court, she's ready to face off with stuffy nobles, fancy dinners, and the world's worst case of imposter syndrome. But what she wasn't prepared for was King George III-yes, the same King George III-staring at her like she'd just walked in with a goat under her arm. And the peonies? Don't even get her started. Oh, and did we mention Thomas Foxcote? Ollie's new bestie (and totally not the romantic rival to George)? Yeah, he might have a hand in this whole mess too. It's a hot mess, but at least she's good at making things worse. Chaos, confusion, and an undecided romance await...

When Iris discovers these secret plans and threats, she runs away, and thus is sent on a whirlwind adventure across Britannia, accompanied by, among others, her worry-wart sister, a farm boy named Charr, and a mysterious messenger who isn't what he seems to be. Their goal? To appeal to the one force capable of stopping Penda's cruel regime, King Oswald of Northumbria. If they fail, Iris loses her freedom, her future, and the lives of those she holds dear.

'i must abide by the duty that was brought upon me by God and the King; no matter how fearful that road may be.'

At Radley College, nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire, life was a blend of tradition and energy. The red-bricked buildings with their sweeping lawns and spires could almost pass for Hogwarts, and to the boys who studied there, the place felt just as magical. Days were filled with sport on the cricket fields, rowing on the Thames, art studios filled with sketches and clay, outdoor adventures in the surrounding countryside, and the endless whirl of academic societies. Among the students was James Alexander Philip Theo Mountbatten-Windsor, Earl of Wessex. To the outside world, he was royalty-the son of Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. But within Radley's walls, he was simply James. The other boys hardly cared for his titles; he rowed, studied, and laughed alongside them as any other sixth-former would. He preferred it that way, free from the weight of being treated like a prince. Alisha Grace Rosé had known about James since their paths first crossed in 2022. She was eighteen now, the same age as him, and for as long as she could remember she had harbored a quiet crush. Yet she never dared to tell him. In class, when they were paired for projects, she found herself tongue-tied; James, polite but distant, never seemed to notice her at all.
