Beneath the Crown

Princess Leonora Valemont has spent her entire life preparing for the crown.

But on the day of her coronation, seven bells ring through the kingdom and someone knocks from beneath the castle floor.

Then Leonora begins to remember things she was never supposed to remember.

A mother who vanished without a trace.
A childhood she can no longer trust.
A locked room beneath the castle.
A girl who looks exactly like her.

And beside her through it all stands Sir Althea Raven, her sworn protector-and the one person Leonora believes she can trust.

But Althea knows more than she says.

Someone has been leaving messages for Leonora.

Someone knows what happened seven years ago.

And someone keeps insisting that she is not the princess.

As the line between memory and reality begins to disappear, Leonora must uncover the truth before the kingdom discovers what is hiding beneath its crown.

Because some stories are built on secrets.

And some stories were never meant to be read.
