Seraphina Rosaline always dreamed of being a princess. Lost in her books and the quiet of the forest, she imagined a life far from her ordinary one. But destiny had other plans. When she learns she's the illegitimate daughter of the king, her world turns upside down. Suddenly, she's whisked away to the palace, where her aunt insists she train to become the princess she was born to be. Life in the palace isn't what she expected. Princes line up to meet her, each vying for her hand-and the crown. Among them is Prince George, whose arrogance drives her mad. Yet, amidst the chaos, Seraphina finds herself drawn to someone else entirely. Someone who makes her question everything she thought she wanted. This is a story of transformation. From a carefree girl lost in fantasy to a woman who must claim her place in a world of power and politics. Seraphina's journey is one of self-discovery, love, and the courage to embrace who she truly is.
