Princess Elara Ashcombe was raised from birth to one day rule her homeland, dedicating years to studying diplomacy, history, economics, military strategy, and the responsibilities of the crown. Those plans changed when a political marriage united two kingdoms, sending her away from the country she loved to become the future queen of another. Though she understands the importance of the alliance and harbors no resentment toward the prince she married, leaving behind the life she had always envisioned has proven far more difficult than she expected. As two strangers navigate a marriage born from duty rather than choice, what their future becomes is entirely up to them.
