The Promise of the Dawn
CHRONICLES OF CROWN AND CASUALTY BOOK 2- She was a stranger in someone else's land. A visitor to the grandeur of a royal. Allied with someone who was born into power and luxury, yet she had fought for her place. She had spilled blood for her crown. Grieved for the ability to govern. Her story was tormented by guilt, betrayal, loss, and pain, and so it became overlooked as other stories blossomed from the ashes of hers. Stories of beautiful Princesses in castles, strong knights fighting for the favor of fair maidens, and beautiful parties filled with elaborate gowns flooded everyone's heads instead, entirely disregarding those with less of an idealistic story, who pathed the way for the stories everyone grew to love. Now, the time has come for other stories to be told, despite their imperfections. THIS is the Duchess's.Complete![Sleight of Hand [Show 'em Who's Boss #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/1007497-256-k526391.jpg)

Rather than just running away from home, over-confident Ebony plans to get her own back by scamming her father out of his entire fortune with the help of her not-so-perfect boyfriend and one of her father's biggest rivals. (This was previously called Show 'em Who's Boss.)Complete
