The Ballad of Marbeth

Marbeth, born and raised within the safety of her castle walls, has always understood what is expected of a princess. Duty. Grace. Obedience. But when her mother and father dies and the crown passes to her far too soon, those expectations twist into something far more dangerous.

King Antony arrives with a smile like a blade and a promise wrapped in fire: marry him, or watch her kingdom burn.

To save her people, Marbeth steps into a life she never wanted - a life built on fear, secrets, and a power she was never taught to claim. But as shadows gather and the world she knew begins to crack, Marbeth discovers that duty is not the same as destiny... and the strength she carries may be far greater than the crown she wears.
