Sand Scented Jar (Gazellian Series #9)

Harper Esmeralda Gazellian is a known soft-hearted and innocent princess of Sartorias. But can she still maintain this image now that she must rule as a Queen?

***
Harper's life has never been complicated. She grew up in the shadows of her silbings-- her eldest brother, King Dastan of Nemetio Spiran, the formidable Prince Zen of the prophecy, and the feisty Princess Esmeralda. With such strong siblings protecting her, what could go wrong for a well-sheltered princess?

But she is determined to prove that she is more than just that.

When her brother Finn falls into a coma and his mate, Kalla, dies after Atlas takes her heart, Sartorias is in shambles. With King Dastan and Queen Leticia still recovering from the war, Harper is determined to stay by her siblings' side to help. But as the King of Mudelior, King Kreios Sageton Doyle grows more impatient, waiting for her for years, a scandalous society paper surfaces, igniting everyone's interest in their dramatic relationship, forcibly bringing her to Mudelior.

The princess- now the queen is conflicted, to stay by King Kreios's side, her mate and start her responsibility as a queen, or fulfill her promise and insist that she has to return to Sartorias to prove that she has to be a better princess first before claiming the title as the queen?
