14 parts Ongoing Annalise Ruth was infamous bastard daughter of the late Lord Elliot Leroux. Criticized and outcasted by the social Ton for her illegitimate status, she always expected to lead a quiet life on her own, sewing ballgowns and enjoying a life away from nobility and its disastrous gossip.
The annual Gala of The Jewels is quickly approaching, an enchanted event hosted by King Roland himself. A festival where all noble families were invited to a winter stay at the Palace Cordelia, fabricated to give the young ladies and gentlemen of the Ton a chance to find their perfect matches and marry before the new year's spring.
Annalise's stepmother, Lady Lydia, is determined to find the most esteemed match for her most esteemed and eligible daughter, Florence Renee.
And if she were so fortune, a husband for her bastard stepdaughter, Annalise as well.
For the first time in ages, the Crown Prince of Cordelia has returned home for the decored Gala. And with his nineteenth birthday soon coming, His Majesty demands that his son find a respected young lady to be his princess.
Lady Lydia believes Florence is the perfect candidate.
But perhaps one cruelly-fated first meeting and the dazzling gaze of the headstrong bastard Leroux daughter, Annalise Ruth, will keep the Crown Prince rather deeply intrigued.
