The Royal Academy

Nineteen-year-old Lady Eleanor had her future all planned out: a quiet life managing her father's estate and avoiding the court's treacherous politics. But when she is unexpectedly chosen to attend the prestigious Royal Academy, everything changes. The Academy is where noble daughters learn the arts of diplomacy, leadership, and the secrets of royal duty. But this year, it holds an even greater prize-an unexpected twist that could change the kingdom forever.

King Alden, the young and enigmatic ruler, has declared that he will choose his queen from among the Academy's students. As Evelina navigates the glittering halls of the palace and the hidden rivalries of her fellow nobles, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue and deception. To win the king's favor, she must prove her worth not just as a noblewoman but as a future queen.

But Evelina's heart is torn. As she begins to unravel the mysteries of the court and the king himself, she must decide whether she wants to vie for the throne at all. With each lesson and test, Evelina discovers that the greatest challenge is not the competition, but finding her own path in a world where one choice could determine the fate of a kingdom-and her heart.

Will Evelina rise to claim the crown, or will she uncover a truth that could change everything she knows about the monarchy, the king, and herself?
