𝓡𝓸𝔂𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓤𝓷𝓬𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓭 (𝓡𝓸𝔂𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓼 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓣𝔀𝓸)
Catherine Carter has done what no one, including her, thought she would be able to do. She's gotten past a lot of her anxiety issues, made some friends, fallen in love, and has been named the top student of the Royal Academy. She's the first in line to become the next queen of Alumbridge, and be married to the Prince.
Except, the Prince and her have had a falling out because of the secrets he's hidden from her. While they had originally fallen in love, Catherine can't tell if any of the actions or words of affirmation have been real. And with him being in on the protest she started against his establishment, she's feeling like she's been betrayed.
Four months later, the Academy is opening back up, and Catherine is as numb and emotional as she's ever been. She feels eager to go back to continue her protest and see her friends, but she's also scared to go back and face the Prince who she still has overwhelming feelings towards. This especially becomes an issue when her return to the academy requires her to not only be with the prince, but to become like him.
As antagonistic forces loom in the distance and emotional suffering becomes the new normal, Catherine has to confront everything that she's known thus far. She has to force herself to uncover the true identity of the male she has overwhelming feelings for, secrets within the monarchy, hidden tension in her friend group.
But worst of all, she has to force herself to uncover the hidden truth of who she really is, and decide if she wants to continue on her current life path, or make a decision that'll change the trajectory of her life forever.
