Chimamy123
On the surface, she scrubs floors and tends to high-ranking nobles in the lavish palace of Versailles. But by blood, she is a princess. And she will never forget it.
Adelaide was born to rule. Daughter of a beloved queen from one of Africa's most powerful kingdoms. But after her mother was assassinated and her father fled with her to France, she became a shadow. When French soldiers murdered him at the border, the last of her name was buried beneath the marbled floors of Versailles.
Now, she lives hidden in plain sight. And every breath she takes is one closer to vengeance for the crown that was stolen from her.
Then she meets Prince Alexandre, heir to the French throne. Regal, calculative, complex. Their connection is undeniable. Their attraction is dangerous. And when Adelaide defies the guards to protect a young footman, she catches the prince's eye and sets off a chain of events that could unravel the court itself and be the key to Adelaide's goal.
However, he is trapped in a kingdom of vipers and a betrothal he cannot escape.
But Versailles is always watching. And in a palace where power is currency and love can be considered treason, a forgotten princess and a crown prince could start a fire that burns the whole kingdom down.
