In the kingdom of Kantua, royal heirs don't choose who they marry. When they turn eighteen, the king and queen select a spouse to strengthen alliances and protect the throne.

But when the crown finally reveals the prince she's meant to marry, Elena faces an impossible truth.
Her heart might already belong to someone else.
Someone she was never meant to love.
