Fated for the Throne

Princess Althea of Eldoria never imagined her future would be arranged for her. At seventeen, her parents announce her betrothal to Prince Dorian of Valmere, a man she's never met. Forced into this engagement for the sake of alliances and politics, Althea is determined to hate him-after all, he's everything she loathes: arrogant, entitled, and far too handsome for his own good.

But when they're thrust into each other's lives, Althea begins to see a side of Dorian she never expected. He's not the prince she thought he was. Slowly, through shared moments of tension, vulnerability, and unexpected honesty, their cold and distant relationship starts to change.

As they navigate courtly expectations, dangerous rivals, and the weight of their families' legacies, Althea finds herself questioning everything she once believed about love, duty, and fate. Will she and Dorian be able to rise above the roles they've been forced into? Or will their marriage remain a cold, political arrangement forever?
