Queendom: The Crest, the Crown, and the Heart
The Kingdom of Kinatra stands on the brink of collapse. Famine and disease ravage the land, and the brutal Leiis-MΓΌnchten war has left it vulnerable. To secure its future, King Gendrada strikes a deal with the powerful Chryaros Kingdom-his only daughter, Princess Olympia, must marry Prince Ascwin, the war's most feared soldier. But for the hot-headed princess this engagement is a betrayal. Why should she need a foreign husband to lead? Why should a white war hero-a man whose ancestors once grew fat on the oppression of hers-have any claim to her people, her land, or her throne? Kinatra was never meant to be ruled by its former oppressors, and the people will never accept a foreign prince as their king. One thing is certain-Olympia will not surrender quietly. She will not bow to some foreign prince. While Olympia doesn't trust Ascwin, a far greater danger lurks in the shadows. Whispers of rebellion grow louder in Kinatra, and the delicate balance of power is on the verge of shattering. Tensions rise, and the future becomes even more uncertain as Ascwin finds himself caught in the crosshairs of an event he could've never imagined. In a kingdom built on freedom, will love become its greatest battle?
