1800 adventure comingofage femaleprotagonist fiction historical marriage rebellion romance royalty

In the conservative world of the 1800s, Madelyn Pawns stood out as anything but ordinary. With her fiery temper, stubborn nature, and a vocabulary that would make even the most seasoned sailors blush, she was a far cry from the ideal lady of the time. 

But when an unexpected opportunity lands at her doorstep, Madelyn finds herself facing a life-altering decision. Offered a position as the caretaker for a prince, she must confront the stark reality of her circumstances. Accepting the job means not only taming her wild spirit but also conforming to the rigid expectations imposed upon women of her era.

As Madelyn enters the opulent world of royalty, she discovers a realm filled with opulence, grace, and the pressures of societal conformity. Surrounded by courtly intrigue and aristocratic traditions, she grapples with the daunting task of transforming herself into a refined lady.

Yet, deep down, Madelyn wonders if conformity is truly the path she must take. Can she suppress her true self, her independent spirit, and embrace the role of a prim and proper lady? Or will she find a way to navigate this new world while trying to forgive herself for her father's death?

It was supposed to be a job freeing her from the chains of the past, but how long could she stay sane when Eirik stands in front of her as the only heir to the throne of Aeziris, as Crown Prince Aedric Emsworth? There might just be more to the rebellion than what met the eye.

It's not my personal belief. I'm just reflecting what people believed in those days. I appreciate comments. Most people don't use swear words, and I and most readers appreciate that.
