Living at her rivals land as a peasant may not sound as appealing but she chooses it over the choice of going back to the countrymen that betrayed her and a betrothal that might have served as her demise. Will she get the chance to go back to her rightful place? And if so, how much will it cost her to get back all the power that she'd been stripped off of? ©elinehuntsmith 2020

"No matter which road you choose, it will always lead you back to me, princess." I was a fool. He was my unwanted shadow, a darkness I couldn't shake off, catching me at every step of the way-leaving no room for escape. Slow burn/enemies to lovers.
