The game of the heart is a dangerous one to play, especially when it's tied to a crown.

Princess Serenity Vixon of the Kingdom of Dahlia has been living up to her parents' expectations for as long as she can remember, holding their opinion of her in her heart. No matter what they've asked of her, she has done without question, even getting betrothed to Prince Godric Tilman of the Kingdom of Vithe. But when the King of Hallow arrives at Dahlia's gates in order to stop the war between the two kingdoms, will Serenity stay true to the many promises she has made or will she succumb to the notion that she can have what her heart has wanted all along: love on her own terms?

Once a commoner, her sudden and secretive betrothal to Harry promised a fairy tale ending. But behind the gilded doors lies a web of intrigue. Her Father and Parliment, cunning and ambitious nobles, expose Anastasia's sanity as a strategic deception aimed at barring her ascent to power.

With her legitimacy questioned and enemies closing in, Anastasia must navigate the treacherous waters of royalty to prove her worth not just as a monarch but as a leader worthy of her people's loyalty. In this gripping tale of betrayal and survival, the line between ally and adversary blurs, and the crown's weight tests the bounds of love and loyalty. Will Anastasia rise to reign as queen, or will the machinations of those around her lead to her undoing?
