The Princess of Marley was never meant to be remembered. Not a symbol of beauty, nor a bearer of brilliance-only a quiet shadow in the halls of royalty, overlooked by her kingdom and cast aside by her own blood.

But this kingdom is unlike any she has known-its throne cast in iron, its people whispering behind closed doors, and its ruler a man cloaked in stillness, with eyes that burn colder than winter. Unwanted by her homeland. Unwelcome in her new one. Yet sometimes, the forgotten ones are the ones who find what the world has long tried to bury. And this is where her story begins.
