The Flowers He Forgot

In the kingdom of Valebright, destiny is a crown no one gets to refuse - especially not Prince Emrys, whose future has been carved in stone since the day he was born. His duty is simple: marry Princess Aurelia Maven, unite their kingdoms, and inherit a throne he never asked for.

But everything changes the day a strange girl washes up in the city.

Liora is quiet, curious, and impossibly out of place - a girl who walks like she's learning how, who stares at the sea like it's calling her name, and who carries secrets deep enough to drown in. Emrys feels drawn to her in ways he can't explain, pulled by a connection that feels older than memory and stronger than fate.

Asteria, Emrys's fiercely loyal cousin, senses danger in every trembling breath Liora takes. Aurelia, the flawless princess destined to be queen, watches with cold, calculating eyes. And Carlos Maven - bright, chaotic, and far too observant - sees more than anyone realises.

When a single drop of seawater reveals the truth Liora has been running from, the fragile threads holding Valebright together begin to unravel. Prophecies stir. Loyalties fracture. And the tides themselves shift.

Because Liora is not human.
And Emrys is not meant to love her.
And destiny - the one thing Emrys has always feared - is coming for them all.

In a world of ancient magic, forbidden love, and unraveling fate, one choice will decide the future of the kingdom:

Follow the path written for you...
or drown trying to escape it.
