The shadow and the crown 👑
Princess Seraphine Valeria was raised to rule, not to feel. Cold-eyed and sharp-minded, the heir of Eldoria has learned that love is a weakness and sentiment is a luxury reserved for those who do not sit near power. When her father secures a political marriage to strengthen the kingdom, she bows with grace-because obedience is strategy, and strategy is survival. But fate has always had a cruel sense of irony. Kael Draven, her sworn knight-silent, disciplined, and carved by war-has stood at her side for years. Feared by enemies, respected by kings. Bound to her by loyalty... and something far more dangerous. A foreign prince wants her hand. A kingdom demands her duty. But the only man who knows her heart is the one she cannot have. One is her future. One is her undoing. And power has never been won without sacrifice. Even ice melts. Especially when fire stands too close.
To Burn Beside You
They were never meant to fall in love. But duty has a way of binding hearts tighter than chains-and fire has a way of consuming everything in its path. When Princess Seraphina is bound by an arranged marriage to the kingdom's fiercest prince, Caelan, she expects a cold union of politics and survival. He is infuriatingly strong, arrogant, and unyielding. She is stubborn, sharp-tongued, and unwilling to bend. They say they hate each other. But the way he steps between her and every threat, tells a different story. As enemies close in and betrayal poisons the court, Seraphina and Caelan must stand together-or risk losing everything. What begins as duty ignites into something deeper, ... a love neither of them can deny. And when the flames rise, one truth becomes clear: he would burn the world to protect her- and she would burn beside him.Complete
