As they dance under crystal chandeliers, Daniela finds herself haunted by his closeness to other noblewomen. In a silent storm-shattered rooftop, a whisper reveals her fear:
"You swore you'd never become your father."
"You're just jealous."

What happens next...? A betrayal, of course ...
But what sets this apart is not just the who of the betrayal - but where. In the shadow of chandeliers meant to shed light on the love they share,
Daniela finds herself betrayed by her betrothed's promise-broken dagger-in front of everyone... except the ones who matter most...
When the last vow's broken, the world will forget who she was.
All but one...
All but the Crown.

Betrothed
My life was one born in towers of gold with impenetrable windows. My life was one of nobility, aristocracy. Silver blood ran through my veins and it made me one of the Acier; a Princess of the Acier. Until those windows became ruptured. All my life I have never had the chance to breathe outside the walls of my home; then I met him. I am a girl betrothed to one I do not love yet am surrounded by people who have managed to enter the crevices of my heart. I should have known that not even my golden windows could have protected me from my destiny. I should have known that my crown would cost me my security. I should have known that all along that the only solution to cure the world was to paint my hands in the blood of those who threatened to uproot any evil we had worked so hard to hide. In that moment, I was no longer betrothed to anyone who held flesh or blood; I was betrothed to the cold steel of my sword and the promise I made to protect the lands until my dying breath. ❝ Best Rankings ❞ #25 in Princesses #49 in Feminism #95 in Warrior #49 in Silver #3 in Steel #5 in Betrothed #175 in Kingdom #361 in Princess #386 in Prince #354 in lovetriangle #2 in Royaume #2 in summer2017 #556 in WarComplete
