When love is forbidden, it becomes the bravest act of all.
Princess Evelyne has never known freedom beyond the gilded cage of her royal life. In a kingdom gripped by a cruel curse, no woman is allowed to love-except one. Bound by duty and haunted by a legacy of heartbreak, Evelyne's heart is as guarded as the castle walls themselves.
But everything changes the night she meets Auren, a humble kitchen boy whose quiet strength and unwavering loyalty stir something deep within her. As their forbidden connection grows, they must hide their love in the shadows-because the kingdom's dark sorceress, Lady Malvera, will stop at nothing to keep love from flourishing again.
When Malvera learns of Evelyne's defiance, she vows to destroy every man in the palace, plunging the kingdom into chaos. With lives on the line, Evelyne must decide if love is worth the ultimate sacrifice.
In a world where magic is deadly and trust is scarce, can a princess and a kitchen boy break the curse-and find their happily ever after?
