A princess lost in the shadows. A crown prince in disguise. And a kingdom on the edge of ruin.
Katya was never meant to rule-a shadow in a kingdom that celebrated her fearless sister and beloved brother. But when tragedy shatters her family and war threatens to consume the land, she is thrust into a dangerous spotlight she never asked for.
Bound by duty and haunted by loss, Katya's only solace is a silent guardian with haunted hazel eyes-the stranger who knows too much, and who once danced with her under a veil of secrets. As loyalties blur and forbidden desires ignite, Katya must navigate a treacherous court where every whispered word could be her undoing.
In a kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin, the line between love and betrayal grows dangerously thin. Will Katya find the strength to claim her destiny... or will the shadows claim her first?
