Flora was found on her parents' doorstep on a freezing December night, seven months old and left to die. She survives, is taken in, and grows up in a crowded house where love is abundant and opportunity is not.
When her younger sister secretly enters her into the national lottery for Queen Louise's Royal Preparatory School, Flora does not expect to be chosen.
She is.
Sent to the capital of Iphiria, Flora enters a former royal palace turned school for princesses and future leaders. Surrounded by girls born into power, she learns quickly, excels quietly, and earns everything she is given. If she succeeds, she may one day serve the Crown-or help shape the kingdom itself.
But Queen Louise's does not exist to create coincidences.
As Flora nears graduation and the ceremonial Coronation, old rumors begin to surface: a lost princess, believed dead in the crash that killed the King and Queen eighteen years ago. The whispers grow louder. The attention sharper. The sense of being watched impossible to ignore.
Because some futures are planned long before they are revealed.
And some heirs are not lost-only delayed.
