In the grand Kingdom of Lysoria, where kings and queens rule by ancient laws, Princess Seraphina is known as the most beautiful, kind-hearted, and free-spirited of all. She lives in a world of golden halls, strict rules, and royal duties. Her father, King Thalric, is a firm and disciplined ruler, yet softens entirely when it comes to her. Her mother, Queen Eveline, is graceful and warm, often teasing the King for spoiling their youngest daughter. Her elder brother, Prince Darian, is her strongest protector, bound by love and duty.
But Seraphina is different from other princesses. She does not desire grand balls or court politics.
Her heart belongs to the quiet simplicity of the world outside the palace.
Each morning, before the castle awakens, she rides her noble steed across the fields, far from prying eyes.
There is, however, one place forbidden to all-a dark and silent river known as the Forbidden River.
Whispers speak of those who crossed its waters and vanished without trace.
No one dares go near.
Yet, Seraphina does not believe in darkness... only in secrets waiting to be unveiled.
A slow-burning love supernatural fantasy about hidden powers, forbidden paths, and a princess who dares to challenge the legends of her world.
"Britain, 1840s
Prince William Harry Harrington, the eldest son of the British monarch, stood atop the grand balcony of Windsor Castle, gazing out at the sprawling gardens below. His thoughts, however, were far from the lush greenery and vibrant flowers. They were consumed by the weight of his responsibilities, the expectations placed upon him, and the looming prospect of marriage to the Lady Katherine, a union that would secure the future of the British Empire.
But little did William know, the fate of the empire was about to become entwined with that of a young woman from a far-off land, a woman whose life was about to be forever changed by the tides of colonialism. In the Gold Coast of Africa, a region that would soon become known as Ghana, the British were making their move, staking their claim on the rich resources and strategic ports.
The drums of war were beating, and the lives of Prince William and Ama, a young Ashanti woman, were about to become inextricably linked in a dance of love, loyalty, and rebellion."
