After a tragic incident, she leaves home because everything reminds her of that night. She also loses contact with her best friend. Years later, she's back and ready to deal with her past. Easier said than done when new feelings start to emerge for her best friend. She's not the same person she was five years ago. Can she live up to everyone's expectations while dealing with her trauma? Is her attacker really gone, or are they lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike again? Watch as Eliana deals with navigating new and old friendships, her duty to her duchy, new and existing mental health issues, and discovering love.
Prince Liam Rhys is the future king of Cordonia. He's been best friends with Eliana since they were children. Only he really knows how much she struggles with her anxiety, and only she knows how much it means for him to be king. After that fateful night, he realizes he doesn't know everything about her, what she's gone through while he's been gone. He's hurt that she didn't tell him but from then on he promises to always be there for her. That promise falls through as he is preparing to become king. The last time he saw her was five years ago. He didn't keep his promise and now she's constantly on his mind. He doesn't know if he should reach out. What if it's too late to make amends. Little does he know that Eliana is moving back home and is going to be at his birthday party in a few weeks. Once back, Liam is shocked to see how she's changed. She still wears the necklace he gave her when she was fifteen. Maybe she didn't completely forget him.
