❝The‌ ‌Chrysanthemum‌ ‌Throne‌ represents the Imperial Family of Japan, yet, it is also for the country and the people. The Emperor must always remind himself of that, or else His Majesty will be blinded so much by his own greed that he cannot see his suffering subjects.❞

Set in Feudal Japan, the youngest Imperial Princess of Emperor Nijō, Imperial Princess Sakura, is strung between a military coup and a forbidden romance with an unruly samurai who did the most dishonourable thing a samurai could ever do. He betrayed his master.

After disaster strikes because of a sudden coup, Princess Sakura is separated from her family and torn from her comfortable home. Stranded in unfamiliar territory and hopelessly unknowledgeable about the world outside her sheltered life, she finds solace with a ronin- a wandering and masterless samurai-  by the title-less name of Sanjuro Maki. Together, they navigate the vast land of Kyoto and beyond while Sanjuro comes face-to-face with his past and a woman he never could have expected.

Whilst Emperor Nijō deals with the aftermath of the coup and the separation of his family, an ally he trusted the most leads a rebellion, furthering the betrayal and anguish he must war with. In an attempt to recruit his separated children while fighting for his rightful place on the Chrysanthemum‌ ‌Throne‌, the Emperor accuses his daughter, Imperial Princess Sakura, and the infamous ronin, Sanjuro Maki, for a revolt they never participated in. 

In this sweeping historical fantasy romance, war and love collide with nothing but death and betrayal to spare in its aftermath.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
