The kingdom of Florence stands poised on a knife's edge-its banners fluttering, its borders trembling. Seventeen-year-old Princess Hyacinth, quiet as moonlight and sharp as a thorn, has always obeyed the rhythm of duty. But when the drums of war begin to beat and shadows stir behind palace walls, Hyacinth finds herself tangled in secrets her blood was meant to protect.
Her father, King Harold, seeks strength through steel. Her mother, Queen Azalea, guards truths too fragile to speak aloud. And somewhere, in the space between loyalty and longing, Hyacinth's heart begins to drift toward a love that could fracture the crown.
As Florence begins to wither beneath the weight of hidden alliances and ancient grudges, Hyacinth must decide: Will she be the flower kept in glass-or the root that cracks the stone?
The reign is beginning. But it may not be her father's for long.
