❝Weak.❞
❝Useless.❞
❝Pushover.❞
These are the words that are used to describe Princess Skylet le'a Xenlisa, third princess of the Queendom of Nyvalia. She is an abnormality in a family of women renown for being brave, headstrong, and reckless. Everyone expects her to become like her sisters or her mother, Queen Xenlisa, the brave warrior queen who managed to unite the countries and bring peace to the continent for the first time in a hundred years.
But Skylet finds that she'd much rather feed the geese, watch bread rising in the kitchen, or take care of her garden than rule a queendom or take up a position of leadership. After all, she doesn't expect to be chosen as Crown Heiress, being the youngest daughter.
But when misfortune strikes, everything that Skylet knew and hoped for shatters. The peace that her mother struggled so valiantly to achieve was tenuous and vague -- and it came with a price. Haunted by her own weakness, and surrounded on all sides by enemies and political machinations, Skylet is forced learn to navigate the treacherous Nyvalian court and unravel the conspiracy coalescing around her.
If she fails, the only thing she'll be next in line for...is the morgue.

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
