When King Merric and Queen Anora had their first child, they named her Estelle. Estelle meant Star, and it is said that their daughter shined as bright as any star. She was beautiful, large green eyes, bronze colored hair, pale skin. Even as an infant, people were asking to betroth their children to her. The King and Queen said no of course, they told them that it was her choice to marry who she wanted. While they had always wanted the best for their young one, they knew that dictating her life would only lead to a dysfunctional relationship between them. But there was always something strange about the girl, even as a small one. She seemed to have a strong connection with nature, her father even watching as trees would bend to her will, or water would move in order to allow her to pass. It wasn't until she was around 7 years old that the king decided to invite his magical advisor to visit the child. After a short hour with her, he came to the conclusion that the princess was, indeed, born with magical abilities. As Estelle closed in on her 22 birthday, her parents insisted that it was about time for her to marry. They kept to their word, however, letting her choose who she would marry. Estelle decided that she would hold a ball, this ball would be open to the public and the nobles. There, she would find someone to spend her time with, and if she felt they were the one, they would continue to see each other. There was, of course, worry that her magical abilities would prevent any man from marrying the girl. But Estelle was confident that that would never happen. She would not marry a man that did not care of her magical abilities. But what will happen when the castle is attacked during the ball and a mysterious man is asked by her father to take Estelle somewhere safe?

Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.
