THE CROWN PRINCE

A prince and a commoner don't often mix.

And yet we did.

Five years after their falling out, Clara Lien meets Prince Tomas again, this time far from their island home of Espeos.
Future monarch of the sovereign state, Tomas is spending his last year of freedom, granted to him by his father, the King, to enjoy his university experience in England instead of Espeos.

Both on separate trips, the two, no longer on speaking terms, are horrified
at the reunion, and even more to find Tomas's new friend eager to meddle in their broken relationship.

Once, despite disparate circumstances, the two had been best friends. Not even separate schools and separate social lives made much difference to either their devotions. A shared understanding and a shared grief among children kept them together; each other's comfort when all others expected them to move on.

Stuck together now on a Roman holiday, the two must wade through tough memories, tense airs, the guilt and pain and remorse of before, all to learn how to tolerate each other again. Forced to remember a past filled with precious times, now marred by the fight that ended their entire friendship.

Some things are perhaps forever broken.
