And the twist - Demonire is the only estate where even daughters of the Duke can inherit its bountiful lands.
But a season, and a not-so-loved King of Demonire poses a problem in her plan to remain unmarried till she comes of age and inherit her lands - she's been asked to go to Warnia and participate in the parade, normally called a season of the Crown Prince Thomas.
There would be a lot of fashion, lot of dancing, and an incredible amount of female objectification.
Elizabeth has a plan. A permanent solution to her problem of social engagement and the expectation of her marriage.
But Warnia is a warzone. A kingdom dreaded by the entire Continent. For reasons unknown. There are whispers, warnings, myths and tales of the mighty kingdom, but no one knows about its true dangers.
Danger Elizabeth is walking straight through. Amidst politics, dancing and husband hunting, she has to survive, and leave the sun-kissed country unmarried but not a maiden.
Will she survive? Or will she succumb to the pressures of Warnian court politics, and play right into their plans?

This book has sexual reference and mentions of things that could possibly be triggering to some - e.g. young motherhood and loss of a parent. This work is usually split into two parts, but I have decided to take down the second part, and consider the first part, one book for now, so I can work on the second. When the second part/book has been finished, I'll decide whether I like it as one book or to reincorporate the rest of the book to make it one. Entered in the Wattys(2020)!Complete
