royal deception

In the kingdom of Sorah, marriage is not just a tradition-it’s the law.

The kings’ noble bloodline must be preserved, and there’s no escaping the duty of marriage. But then there’s King Aspen. Young, brilliant, and perfect in every way-except one: he refuses to follow the most sacred tradition of all.

Fleeing his own betrothal, Aspen crosses paths with Isabelle Almere, a sharp-minded farm girl with a vow of her own-to stay far away from the royals. Concealing his identity, Aspen befriends her, drawn to her intelligence and spirit, unaware of the secret promise she’s made.

But when tragedy strikes the kingdom of Sorah, Aspen has no choice but to pull Isabelle into his world, relying on her keen mind to help save the kingdom from ruin. As the stakes grow higher, so do the challenges: hidden enemies, haunting pasts, an approaching invasion, and a love neither of them expected.

Can Aspen and Isabelle defy tradition and survive the forces threatening to tear them apart? Or will the weight of duty and danger crush their blossoming love?

Embark on an epic journey of forbidden love, royal intrigue, and deadly adventure.
