Aria Hartley has never needed a crown to feel rich. In her small town, she's built a life of purpose, working at the local diner, caring for her found family, and sketching her dreams in secret. Her life was simple, but it was hers. Then came the stranger with kind eyes and a laugh that stayed with her long after he was gone.
Noé changed everything. He saw her, understood her, and left before she could ask him not to.
When hardship hits home, Aria enters a royal design contest she never wanted, desperate to help the people who became her family. But nothing prepares her for the palace... or for facing the guy who vanished with her heart, and now wears a crown.
In a kingdom tangled in legacy and lies, Aria must choose between the life she made for herself and the one destiny has been quietly tailoring all along.

Now summoned to a hidden fortress that was never supposed to exist, Aria must confront a legacy buried in myth, a power she doesn't understand, and a bond that should have been impossible.
