The Lanzo Kingdom was different from most Kingdoms in their surrounding. Instead of the men being the head of their Kingdom, it was the women. The Lanzo Kingdom had an enemy. The Eliasson Kingdom. They had been at war many years ago, a war that was won by the Lanzo Kingdom but still held great losses.
Years later, they still hate each other, but a new queen is being appointed, and the Lanzo Kingdom wants peace with their enemy, an alliance that will stop future wars from occurring. Princess Emigdia, the second in command warrior of her mothers troops, is the one who will be married to the first son of King Theodore, Prince Zeth. Her older sister Princess Elizi is to be crowned queen days after her wedding.
But something happens that causes a commotion in both kingdoms. They witnessed Princess Emigdia kill her future husband, and they think she had something to do with her sisters death that news of later spreads. Some believe her to be an ice-hearted villain who simply wanted the throne. Even Prince Emir, who witnessed his brothers death at the hands of Princess Emigdia, believed she was a villain. They were enemies, but to him, she was not just his enemy but the biggest villain whom he wanted to kill not only because of his brothers death. But she wants to kill him too to get rid of all Eliasson for good.
3 years later, either she or he might get their want...or desire.
Pick a side... unless you desire love to bloom from hatred and untold truths.
After one of the bloodiest battles in fae history, where a betrayal rocked the Light Court, Elora finds herself in a terrible position. To take the crown she was born to she must find a Consort to rule at her side. Tradition requires her to hold a tournament and allow Lords and Ladies from across the Isle to compete for her hand. Even if that means opening their doors to those of the opposing Court and coming face-to-face with family of the man who betrayed her brother.
Without knowing who she can trust or how she will ever make a decision Elora is torn between making the right choice for her Court and the enigmatic Lord she has vowed to hate. With prophecies, notes, and an unknown power at her fingertips she soon realises that someone saw her on the battlefield that day and knows the truth about what happened.
Siblings parted by centuries,
One that will break us,
Another that frees.
A coming together to signal the end,
One betrayed by a lover,
One betrayed by a friend.
