Claimed by the Heir [On Hold]

In the indulgent kingdom of Athína, a desperate mistake should have ended Thalia's life.

Caught stealing from the crown's stores, she's dragged into the palace justice hall and offered only two choices: execution... or lifelong servitude to the realm's most feared and powerful royal heir, the Basileia. Thalia chooses survival, even if it means surrendering her freedom and becoming the Basileia's personal attendant-bound to her commands, her moods, and the dangerous politics that swirl behind marble walls.

But Athína's court is a place where beauty hides cruelty, and loyalty is always tested. Thalia quickly learns that being claimed doesn't make her safe-it makes her visible. Every glance, every whispered rumor, every rival with a smile like a blade turns her into a target. And the closer she is forced to stand to the Basileia, the more complicated everything becomes: desire, fear, devotion, and the aching truth that she may be falling for the one person who has the power to destroy her.
