To the watching world, Princess Alina has it all--maids to serve her, a kingdom to revere her, a prince to marry her, and a wardrobe filled with enough frills, flounces, and shades of pink to rival a flower shop. But behind the smiles and designer clothes, Alina has a secret. She's barely holding it together. After a moment of panic almost ends in tragedy, Alina is sent to a refuge far from the palace to recuperate. Her family claims it's for her own good but--faced with cows, knife-beaked ducks, and far too many of her own insecurities--Alina is pretty sure it will kill her first. And Joha Samson, infuriating man that he is, will laugh as it does. Only there's more to Joha than she realizes, and more to herself too. When the time comes to make a stand, will she find the courage?

The whole kingdom had watched her heart break. The last place Lady Wenderley Davis ever expected to find herself after swearing off princes forever was living in a palace with two of them. Even if it is only temporary. And she did agree to it. Kind of. Against her better judgement. But then, she's never been one to hide her heart, nor hold back help from anyone who needs it. And if ever there's a family who need help, it's this one. As two weeks stretch to more, Wenderley throws all she has into showing the princes and their family how to smile again, and she's loving every moment of it. Which is a problem. Because she's very quickly becoming attached, and - as the man she'd rather forget keeps reminding her-the one thing she can't do is stay.

Everyone wants her to be their princess...except the ones who matter most. Brought to the palace as a newborn, the royal life bestowed upon Mackenna Sparrow was never meant to last forever. With Princess Alina engaged to be married, Mackenna's presence as companion is no longer required and, like it or not, she must return to the birthright which should have been hers - that of a commoner. But not everyone at the palace wants her gone. When the truths she's based her life on start crumbling as fast as her future, will she find the courage to trust, both herself and the prince she's fallen in love with?

The story explores the life of a young woman who is caught in the expectations of others, as everyone around her desires to see her as a princess. However, the people who truly matter in her life have different views, leading to a conflict between societal expectations and personal identity. Themes of self-discovery and the search for authenticity are central as she navigates her relationships and the pressure to conform.

Lady Mykah, the second daughter of King Lior, has embraced her secret role as the Guardian of Raedonleith, using her masked identity to support her people while concealing her father's growing distance. Her unwavering commitment is tested when she is gravely injured by an arrow, only to be saved by a mysterious man who also guards his identity. As their paths intertwine, both must navigate the dangers of their hidden lives and the truths they seek to protect.

The story follows King Lior, who has spent four agonizing years searching for his missing daughter, Evangeline, after a painful argument led to her disappearance. His relentless prayers and efforts yield hope when a message arrives stating they have found her. Driven by desperation and love, he immediately commands his knights to bring her back home, setting the stage for a reunion filled with potential revelations and emotional turmoil.
