This story follows the life of Princess Maiena, the second and youngest child of King Thaddeus-- the strong, wise, and uncompromisingly orthodox ruler of Reidonia which is a kingdom set in the modern age with customs, laws and traditions that seem to have been stuck in the 14th century. His only weakness is his only daughter.
The Princess Maiena, the spare heir of the king, is a woman of exceptional beauty and charm known across the world. She is too brave, too smart, too determined and too free-spirited for her own good. She struggles to live with the stringent rules and expectations required of a member of the royal family.
Caught in the demands of her scrupulous world is the unwilling but obedient, intelligent and golden-hearted Crown Prince Nikolai, her big brother who loves her more than anything in the world.
Among her allies are the kind, quiet and ever-accepting Sir Gali, a noble knight of the realm and her personal royal guard; and his younger brother, the handsome, austere, unyielding and outstanding swordsman, marksman and martial artist Sir Aidan, the Crown Prince's royal guard and friend.
| 18+| Sequel to 'The Prince's Choice'|
Newly crowned king and queen, William and Jade stand at the brink of war. Their union has enraged William's mother into not just leaving King Uldard but also joining her brother; king Rowan. William's uncle sees this as an opportunity to break an alliance between the two realms with the goal to take the throne from his nephew. A once peaceful union between two kingdoms, has been broken.
King Rowan is out to claim the kingdom he thinks should have befallen him after his father died, soon after his sister's hand was given to King Uldard many years ago. However, after hearing about his nephew's choice in bride, and seen with his own eyes how the girl had won not just the whelp's heart, but also the people's, Rowan fears that this queen will ruin his plans on merging the kingdoms.
After hearing of a secret Jade is carrying, and that she is the only thing keeping William grounded and not his old hotheaded self, Rowan knows that the only way to overthrow the young king is to rob him of the only thing that brings him joy; his queen. And in doing so, he hopes that his nephew will become unfit to rule and lose the support of the people.
To succeed, Rowan must find a way to separate Jade from William before the usurper ruins his plan on uniting his own kingdom with his sister's. He just needs to find a way to do it without provoking the cold and ruthless part of William.
