She was born to be perfect. Raised to be silent. Trained to be everything but herself.
Princess Anthea has lived in a gilded cage, adored but never seen. The palace demands obedience, her parents demand perfection, and the world only receives the poised facade she shows to them. But behind closed doors, she's crumbling-drowning in a life that's all pretence, starving for anything genuine.
Then she meets Selene-fearless, defiant, and refusing to play anyone's games. Selene doesn't see a princess; she sees a girl suffocating under expectations, a girl who was never given a voice in creating her own fate. And for the first time, Anthea begins to wonder: What if she could be more?
But freedom comes at a cost. Defying her family is jeopardizing all things-her throne, her fate, even her own life. As her meticulously designed world begins to shatter, Anthea is forced to make an unbearable choice: stay in the only existence she has ever known or leap into the void and fight for the freedom she was never meant to have.
A story of love, rebellion, and the courage to claim your own identity-even when the world tells you not to.

"Do you know how that affects a child? Seeing their precious father being murdered right in front of her eyes. You thought that you buried us six feet underground. Well jokes on you. Those were dummies that my mother created to fool you. We buried my father in a funeral only of us two," she said wiping away a stray tear, "You know, it is always said, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ... and a life for a life." She tightened her grip on the king's throat and he groaned out loud in pain. The bones on his backbone cracked slowly under the immense force. Daryl had seen the whole thing. From what she had said, she had every right to take his father's life away, but, he didn't want her to have any blood in her hands. "Tatyana! Please don't kill my father. I know you have every reason to, but please, don't kill him." He broke the silence that had surrounded the room with his plea. Tatyana threw a glance at him and her heart ached at the sight of him like that. She had come all this way, what was left was just to snap his neck, and all would be over. Will she do it?
