A story involving not-your-average princes and princesses and mystery around the royal family, who usually remain closed off.
Nixie is a guard who typically takes the day shift, and knowing the royal family's silence makes her want to find out what they are hiding, and also, importantly, why they are hiding those things.
"And although the castle itself doesn't appear deceptive, tucked away so innocently on this secluded little island, perhaps it is instead those who reside in it who carry the secrets that even I have yet to uncover."
Find out what will happen in "The Deceptive Court."
(help I literally don't know how to write descriptions lol)

I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run.
