In the heart of Novarsia, where the Porcelain Grand Ballroom glows with a light as magical as the kingdom's cherished crown princess, Sage Cyprus prepares for her long-awaited debutante, only to find her absent dance partner with another acquaintance. In the world of nobility, the well-protected princess must choose who to trust when she realizes the person she looked up to once upon a time may not be as glorified as before. Every gentle smile conceals a whispered rumour. Under the bubbly shell, Sage is haunted by the shadow of her mother's frail legacy.
Excerpt:
Her heart raced in panic as she spun around to meet the gaze of a red-haired young man. Not Killian. She looked down and realized the young man's hand was still clamped around her wrist. As if sensing her unease, he released her hand and took a step back. He bowed with a slight smirk, his red hair falling over his amber eyes. Sage was taken aback. There has never been a young man as bold to smirk at her, much less gaze at her intently.
" Your highness, I'm afraid everyone is staring," he whispered.
" Oh-yes! I mean, I don't really have a dance partner..." Sage wondered why she was confessing to a mere stranger. She twirled a strand of hair that had gone loose- a very unladylike gesture for a crown princess.
" Would you mind if I fill in that empty spot then, Princess?"

For Love and Throne
As the heiress to a prestigious family estate, she left behind the trappings of royalty to dedicate herself to a life of service in a distant monastery. But when a letter arrives from her family, she is thrust back into the court's high-stakes games, promised in marriage to the son of a scandalous, powerful family to preserve her own. Caught between her past and a future she never wanted, she struggles to reconcile her duty with her desire for a life of authenticity, torn between the royal role she was born into and the freedom she longs to embrace.
LOVE'S DARKEST HOUR
Sage knew Derrick was trouble the moment he smirked at her - all sharp edges wrapped in smooth words, his confidence a little too effortless, his gaze a little too intense. He flirts like it's a game, each sly comment leaving her breathless and furious all at once. "Careful, sweetheart," Derrick had whispered one night, his lips far too close to her ear. "Keep looking at me like that, and I might think you actually like me." But Derrick isn't just the infuriating boy who seems to know exactly how to push her buttons. There's something darker beneath that playful charm - secrets that flicker behind his midnight eyes, a life laced with danger, and a hidden world where loyalty is lethal. The more Sage tries to pull away, the harder Derrick pulls her in - a dangerous dance between desire and defiance. "I'm bad for you, Sage," he says with a wicked smile. "But that's never stopped you before." And now she's left wondering... is Derrick protecting her from his world, or slowly pulling her into it? Because in Derrick's world, love isn't a fairytale - it's a dare. And hating him might be the most dangerous thing Sage has ever done.
