A Crown She Never Asked For

Perfection was the only life permitted to Rowan Valrose. She wears a crown she never chose, smiles when a princess should smile, and obeys without raising her voice.

Ayer has no use for that careful grace. The war captain of a rival kingdom is feared for his cold calculations and consumed by revenge, and he has vowed to end the Valrose bloodline.

Fate forces them together anyway. Rowan is left between her duty to her kingdom and the dangerous captain who wants nothing more than to end her.
