Locked In
In a world where power and bloodlines define your worth, Lenara, a sixteen-year-old royal of Caribbean descent, faces an unimaginable fate: an arranged marriage to Tharion, the seventeen-year-old prince of the distant, frigid kingdom of Seldor. The marriage is a political maneuver to end the long-standing war between their two kingdoms. The contract is clear-Lenara and Tharion will remain married until Lenara turns twenty-one, at which point they can choose to divorce. Lenara, the bastard child of her kingdom's royal bloodline, has always been seen as a political tool, rather than a person. Her mother and father view her marriage as the key to peace, with little regard for her personal desires. To them, she's merely a pawn-a means to an end. As the wedding day draws near, Lenara feels the weight of their expectations pressing down on her. At only sixteen, she is thrust into the adult world of power struggles, her future determined by the marriage contract, not by love or choice.Complete
