Princess Isadora was born to rule, a jewel in the crown of a kingdom that demands perfection. She knows her duty-to marry for alliance, to wear the mask of a queen before she even ascends the throne. But in the shadows of the gilded palace, behind silken veils and whispered courtly games, she finds herself drawn to the one man she can never have.
Sir Elijah is bound by oath and honor, sworn to protect the princess with his life. He has spent years at her side, a silent sentinel, a loyal blade. But when stolen glances turn into lingering touches, when desire burns brighter than the torches lining the palace halls, he faces an impossible choice-betray his duty or his heart.
Their love is a secret carved in moonlight, a war waged in hushed breaths and trembling hands. But in a court riddled with deception and power-hungry nobles, nothing stays hidden for long. If their forbidden romance is discovered, it won't just be Elijah's life at stake-Isadora's crown, and the kingdom itself, could crumble.
Will they defy fate for love, or will duty tear them apart?

In the gilded courts of Aethelgard, Princess Siorse is a gilded sacrifice - her hand in a marriage a political tool to forge peace and ensure her legacy.
