Being invited to the crown princes birthday as a potential courting partner isn't something you can ignore easily, even if you are his younger brother's closest friend.
Alphaea Raze, the duke's daughter, is stuck in the middle of this issue. When she gets invited to His Highness, Cyrus Arcane's birthday she wants to hurl. Getting there is even worse, as the king and queen scrutinize her ever movement and the other young ladies around her act like they have never seen a man before. And what is the icing on the cake you may ask? That would have to be that Cyrus Arcane seems to be an asshole she immediately can't stand.
Going to this party may be the death of her, literally. How are you even supposed to fall in love with such a rude man anyways?

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
