Sequel to: A Crowns Choice
In the heart of a kingdom steeped in tradition and power, Princess Charlotte faces an uncertain future as the Crown's Choice looms closer. With her father's ruthless decree, suitors are thrust into a brutal competition-a series of treacherous trials designed to test their strength, resolve, and loyalty. But as the stakes rise, so do the dangers lurking in the shadows.

When Charlotte is unexpectedly captured by a rebellion seeking to overturn her father's tyrannical rule, she must confront her own feelings for Atlas, a contestant whose charm has begun to unravel her guarded heart. Torn between loyalty to her family and the blossoming love that threatens to defy her destiny, Charlotte grapples with the weight of her choices.

In a world where love can be a weapon and power can corrupt, will Charlotte find the strength to reclaim her voice and fight for the future she desires? Or will she succumb to the pressures of her title, leaving the fate of her heart-and her kingdom-in the hands of others?

For The Sword by JJ_Shelby
9 parts Ongoing Mature
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
