Grace's Broken Resilience

To stand beside Grace, Eli must survive the Rite: sixteen suitors, three rounds, and one chance to prove he belongs at her side.

Now that he has admitted his feelings, he will not let any rival come between them, even if keeping her means killing.

Celebration cannot conceal the rebellion rising against Berland, as Grace's power-hungry enemies move to overthrow her and brand her too emotional to lead.

The city was meant to be a sanctuary where the broken could heal, and Grace continues to put her people ahead of herself, refusing to treat compassion as weakness.

As unrest spreads, she depends on her newfound friends to protect the city, with resilience standing between survival and ruin.
