9 parts Ongoing In the grand halls of Valorie's royal palace, duty is law, and love is an afterthought.
Princess Eleanora Astra Valeria has spent her life in quiet obedience, a woman of grace and good breeding, seen but rarely heard. Her beauty and title make her desirable, but beyond that, she is nothing more than a pawn in the kingdom's endless game of power. Now, at twenty-one, she is bound by duty to wed a man she does not know-a fallen prince with a kingdom lost to exile.
Sebastian Darius Maverick was once a prince next to rule, before his homeland of Norta crumbled under corruption and war. Stripped of his crown by his parents, he is given one last chance at redemption: an arranged marriage to Valoria's princess. He sees Eleanora as just another burden, a means to an end in his relentless pursuit to restore his family's honor. But as the weight of their vows settles, and as whispers of betrayal stir within the court, he soon realizes that the quiet princess is not as meek as she seems.
