Royal Deceit

A princess who lets no one in, from a land of open hearts and a prince from a cold-hearted kingdom, filled with sunshine.

Princess Julianne Castron has avoided getting attached to anyone ever since her father left. So when her mother makes her join the annual Courtship that the Isles of Dawn hosts, she does everything in her power to keep herself focused on her upcoming coronation. That is, until a certain prince does everything in his power to win her hand in marriage.

Prince Varyen Bennette is skilled with his words and with a sword. When his brother, King of Dusk Glaciers, hears the Isles of Dawn, the kingdom that holds the extra power he wants, are hosting The Courtship. He sends Varyen away with one mission:

Marry the princess. And then kill her.

It sounds easy enough for both of them. Until they meet and everything changes.
