Princess Lilian Tudor, heir to the English throne, must navigate two worlds: the strict discipline of the Spanish court and the dangerous intrigues of French politics. After her mother's death, her childhood is shattered, leaving her caught in plots, political alliances, and secret ambitions.
As a child, Lilian was promised in a betrothal to the Dauphin of France - the young Charles. Now, as he returns from Spain, their fates intertwine: first feelings stir between them, yet politics and family duty place invisible - and deadly - obstacles in the path of their love.
Friendship and betrayal, passion and intrigue - Lilian's story is about growing up, preserving honor, and becoming the key player in the game of two crowns.

The Weight of the Crown by SueNell001
70 parts Complete
**Previously known as The Caerwyn Chronicles** In a realm ruled by tradition and bound by blood, power is both a privilege and a curse. The Kingdom of Avarienne stands united under the High Throne-four provinces held together by oaths, legacy, and fear of what might follow should the crown ever falter. Yet behind palace walls, the final years of King Alaric IV's reign are marked by quiet fractures. Old wounds resurface. Noble houses maneuver for influence. And choices made in private begin to echo across the realm. As Alaric's daughter, Avelyne, rises to rule, she must navigate a court shaped by loyalty and loss, guided by her steadfast advisor, Lord Caiden, and shadowed by the sacrifices her family has already made. Her brother Rhen's forbidden marriage to a commoner-and his decision to walk away from crown and duty-tests the limits of blood ties and forgiveness. In time, even exile may not be permanent. Elsewhere, love continues to challenge the rigid order of nobility: Elenora, daughter of Prince Dorian, binds herself to a man born outside her station, while Lord Cedric Draven finds his future entwined with Lady Anya Farrow-Rhen's daughter-forcing the court to confront its own hypocrisies about lineage, age, and power. As heirs rise, loyalties shift, and the old rules bend under the weight of human choice, the struggle for the throne becomes deeply personal. Because in Avarienne, legacy is not simply inherited-it is forged through sacrifice, defiance, and love that dares to cross forbidden lines. A tale of duty and desire, of fractured families and quiet revolutions. The crown may endure... but at what cost? Book One of The Kingdom of Avarienne

Vienna could feel the King's eyes on her now, and she wanted to scream in excitement and panic. She wondered why he was staring at her, but she quickly figured it was probably for the same reason she had been staring at him. She swallowed to calm down her nerves and confidently looked at him, immediately catching his eyes, and she didn't look away this time. Christopher was a bit surprised by her action as she matched his stare. It seemed like she was challenging him to look away first. His lips curled up in a smirk, and she smiled at him, but neither of them looked away from each other. Christopher was impressed by her boldness, and Vienna was simply mesmerised by him. * * * * In the midst of preparations for his royal wedding, King Christopher's life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of Vienna, the youngest daughter of his father's dear friend. Once a mere child, Vienna has blossomed into a stunning beauty, capturing the king's attention and igniting a passion he cannot deny. Desperate for a male heir, Christopher is bound by duty to marry the princess chosen for him. But as he finds himself drawn to Vienna's intelligence, wit, and charm, he begins to question his obligations. Torn between loyalty and desire, Christopher must choose between his royal duty and the love that threatens to destroy his carefully laid plans. For Vienna, the king's sudden interest is both thrilling and terrifying. Aware of the scandal that could ruin her reputation, she struggles to conceal her feelings, even as she is inexorably drawn to Christopher's magnetic presence. As the wedding day approaches, Christopher and Vienna must navigate the treacherous landscape of court politics, family expectations, and their own forbidden attraction. Will they risk everything for love, or will duty and obligation prevail? AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON AMAZON KINDLE. LINK IS ON MY BIO

Princess Liora Valen, heir to the throne and secretly the Empire's most lethal assassin, walks a knife's edge between duty and desire.

But everything shifts when the charming and insufferable Lord Cassian Thornwall-a nobleman too clever for his own good and far too arrogant for hers-discovers her secret. Cassian, a known social snob with a scandalous wit and a past cloaked in mystery, should be her next target. Instead, he becomes her reluctant ally... and her most dangerous distraction. Thrown into a conspiracy that could shatter the Empire from within, Liora and Cassian must navigate palace intrigue, buried secrets, and forbidden passion. But while one is trained to kill and the other trained to charm, neither is prepared for what happens when masks fall-and hearts are exposed. In a world where crowns are forged in fire and loyalty is a weapon, can a killer princess and an arrogant noble survive each other long enough to save the realm?
